Cheap motherboards?! Has anyone got Mini ITX recommendations?

these are popular with DIY NAS builds for their 6 sata ports. the cpu is low power which works well for a server, maybe not so much for a desktop.

N100 arrived today and so far so good, it switches on and is updating windows without issue

It's probably a good idea to wipe and reinstall windows on AliExpress PCs before using them. A while back a brand called ace magician was preinstalling malware on specific models of their mini PCs.
