Newegg has this micropc on "deep" sale today (*$200 for the 8GB model, $230 for the 16GB)
https://www.newegg.com/msi-cubi-n-adl-nettop-computer/p/1VK-0053-00U47?Item=9SIB0GJK3C3373

It is a n100, comes with an upgradable 512 nvme, and RAM is upgradable to 64GB....

I'm very tempted to replace my ancient rig running my plex needs, but am not certain that it'll be up to the task. We store most/all of our content on external HDDs already.
I'm attracted to the low power draw of a system like this vs some deep discounted cpu/mobo/ram combo somewhere.

any advice/input?

That's what I was understanding as well. Would it make sense to fill it to the gills with RAM (~$110 for 64GB, $60 for 32) or be happy with the base 16?

edit: Intel is claiming the n100's max supported RAm is 16GB, the MSI page for that model says it can handle 64GB... I assume I should trust Intel on this one
