I made a similar post on selfhosted recently but I wanted to ask if anyone has experience with these x86 fanless PCs that are sold on AliExpress and similar stores.

Particularly, I've been looking at the ones based on the N5100 Celeron processor. Brands that I've found sell similar units are x86pi and Protectil. They're normally marketed for industrial and firewall use cases. I really want to use them to run containerized HA and Plex.

I want to know how's the heat, and if you see this no-moving-parts device as a real alternative to raspberry pies. I'm allergic to fan noise (jk)
