Hi folk,
Today i'm going to share our new server for our lab purpose. Pre-order HX90 from Minisforum in Nov, select the barebone model & target to ship on early Dec 2021.
During Nov, I start to order my remaining parts
- 1 unit of Nvme 1TB - Kingston KC2500 (Total 1TB)
- 2 units of SSD 1 TB - Kingston A400 (Total 2TB)
- 2 units of ADATA SODIMM Memory - 32GB (Total 64 GB)
Requirement for memory that supported on this machine:
- SODIMM
- DDR 4
- No XMP Support
- CL 22

- PC3200
You need to wait patiently when ordering from minisforum. Here is my shipping tracking:
- Dec 1, 2021- Receive tracking info. The product has been sent for export custom clearance
- Dec 11, 2021 - Product released by export custom. FedEx pick up product. In transit from Hong Kong.
- Dec 12, 2021 - Transit to Taiwan -> Philipines -> China
- Dec 13, 2021 - Transit from China -> Malaysia. Product cleared from custom & transit to local courier warehouse
- Dec 14, 2021 - Safely received the product from FedEx at night. Shipping from FedEx was fast as it is International Priority Shipping.
Time for assembling the beast ....
Final result:
The size is almost similar to mac mini m1 but a bit bulky. Power on the machine & configure BIOS.

Plug-in USB and install Windows 10. Don't trust the reliability of Windows 11 after hearing some several news on AMD bugs, printer drivers & recently nvme performance issues. The product can support Windows 11 if you want to.
