My First Mini PC, Surprisingly Easy to Use (geekroom.tech)

I’ve always been interested in DIY servers but felt intimidated by Linux commands and complex setups. Seeing many recommend Mini PCs as easy-to-use, I decided to try the DreamQuest Pro Plus N100 (32GB+2TB).
Setup was simpler than expected—Windows was pre-installed, and it booted in under 10 seconds, just like a new laptop.
I tested OpenWRT for a soft router and TrueNAS for a NAS—both ran smoothly. The fan is barely audible, and power consumption is just 6-8W, making 24/7 operation cost-effective.
This Mini PC is beginner-friendly, powerful for daily tasks, and energy-efficient—great for first-time users.
