The 45Drives HL8 is a very impressive platform for both homelabs and small business servers. But for those craving more power, I've got an insane solution, and it won't even break the bank.

Today, we're taking a brief look at the Minisforum BD790i, complete with a Ryzen 9 7945HX 16-Core Mobile APU, 64GB of Patriot DDR5-5600, along with 2.5Gb networking built right in. I don't want to spoil anything... but it might be one of the fastest server platforms I've tested, especially for just $539.
