This looks like a mac mini killer for me. What is particularly interesting is the 'optional' slot that lets you put a second Ethernet port there. Dual Ethernet machines in this form factor are nearly non-existent, and with high end processors definitely non-existent!

My last mini-PC purchase was a NUC with an i7 however that machine doesn't have the ability to keep from overheating under any sort of load so it is constantly throttling itself when doing -j 6 builds. One hopes the Ryzen can do better.

What remains to be seen is whether or not you can put ECC SODIMMS in this box. Since exactly zero of the current mini-pc offerings have ECC and with 64GB its something one should really consider in my experience.

Yeah but indiegogo builds vs an established maker of PCs?

Still, like many of the mini and nano itx "white box" companies this hits the right notes for a small home server.
