Hey guys,
My 16GB LAB PC is just not cutting it anymore and I wanted something that can run many more VMs.
I wanted a ITX form factor build with i7 and 64GB RAM capacity.
I found the Shuttle XPC SZ170R8V2, link below
https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Produ...7.1740864357.1499909346-1095532034.1496392504
My Build will be i7-7700 (not K because I don't overclock) with 64 DDR4 RAM( likely Corsair 4x16) with 1TB SSD.
Does anyone have any experience with this Shuttle XPC unit?
From a size perspective it is pretty good because it ticks all my boxes including Dual LAN and 64GB with dual M.2 slots.
Wondering if there is anything better in this size? All the ITX / Mini-ITX boards I have found are all only 32GB. Intel NUC systems seem to have subpar reliability based on reviews.
