Yeah, Streacom is quite quite expensive, even among the fanless niche.
The case I am interesting in seeing more about is the DB2, it's the passive version of the flexible DA2:

Looks nice and I think it is neat, but I'm not sure I would pay that much for case and whatever the PSU cost. These cases look like real PITAs to put together as well.

This week, a new product was launched by INCTEL Technology in China:
Partaker B16 Fanless Mini PC With Intel Core i5 8250U
But I don't know if an independent professional will test it to verify its cooling capability, or at least decide by looking into the specs and design.
Do you think I should buy it? or wait for more options?

Looks like that one will offer more performance then the i5-8250U will. In either case I would be stuffing as much memory and SSD storage in as practical and as I can afford. I don't like waiting...

There's a new Gigabyte Brix mini-PC barebones with an i5-8250U, I was looking at maybe getting one.

Its has AMI BIOS, ACPI supported.
Would this be a deal breaker for most people today?

If I decide to take it, should I take it without internal storage?
Because there is an internal storage unit on sale, which will save me around $30.

Can you assess its cooling capability by looking into the specs and design?

Yes I have.
Mini PC is my preference, according to my previously mentioned priorities.
Some MiniITX case are barely any bigger then MiniPCs. Of course you will pay more for them but....

Seems too good to be true. That is a current generation expensive laptop CPU with an Intel CRP of $300 for the CPU alone, and they will sell you the MB/Case and some accessories with the CPU for less than that.

$297. That's the RCP when it launched in Q3'17, a year ago. See archived page on 2017-8-21.
Intel says:
"Prices .... are subject to change without notice. Prices may vary for other package types and shipment quantities."
The other components are so cheap in China.
Feedback is above 95% positive for the manufacturers/stores.

Thanks to your comments y'all, I just realized that i5-8400T can be fanless, and is more powerful and cheaper than i5-8250U.
But I can't find a fanless PC (mini or not) with i5-8400T for less than $300 (the price of one with i5-8250U).
