I'm looking at some CWWK, topton, and oaknode boards online for an upcoming build. I'm throwing proxmox and OPNsense on this. There's a ryzen 8845HS board I'm curious about but there's also some intel boards I could drop an i5-14600T used CPU into that could work well too. Either way I would have an intel ARC GPU in the PCI slot for media decode/encode and a coral TPU in the E-key M2 slot for frigate object recognition.

But I get conflicting info online about these boards being a waste of time and money. I see things about them burning out, or having weird BIOS bugs that never get fixed. On the other hand, NAScompares seems to like these boards. Are these something I should avoid?

I'm angrily going to go look because you've introduced doubt in my mind. And I don't like not knowing.
