mITX boards on amazon any good? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

The Arc actually makes sense here since OP mentioned multiple cameras for Frigate - QuickSync on N100/N305 starts to choke with 5+ simultaneous streams, while Arc A380 can handle 8+ streams with AV1 decode/encode as a bonus.

I have 5x1080 streams to my frigate container and it only has a coral tpu passed through, 4 to 8% CPU usage in the container. The arc will not yield any advantage unless op is using vino to run the ml, but they pointed out that they are getting a coral tpu.

With a N100 or N305?

N100, 16gb ddr4, m.2 ssd

Cool, I have a similar setup and was looking to upgrade to support Frigate and several other things in addition to the couple dozen Docker containers already running. It's nice to hear that won't be required.
