Advice on Protectli V1210/V1211 for LinuxCNC was created by 7strideR
Hello everyone,I’m looking for a compact and fanless PC to use with my milling machine. Reliability is my main priority, as I want to avoid any hardware-related issues during operation.I’ve come across the Protectli V1210 and V1211 (

) and was wondering if these would be a good fit for running LinuxCNC. I’m still learning about how the Linux kernel works, so I’d appreciate any advice or insights regarding compatibility.Additionally, if I opt for the Coreboot BIOS on these devices, are there any potential issues or limitations I should be aware of?Thanks in advance for your help!

Get a HP Z420 or Z430 or Z440, they are proven reliable, but they are huge and heavy.
But the are cheaper as they can be found only used.
Also, personally i avoid anything Nxxxx from Intel, they are way under powered for anything useful, but they will run the machine perfectly fine.

Hey thanks, they are pretty cheap for what it is, but the main issue is I am in Mauritius and there's not a lot of good tech that's affordable here. Importing a Tower PC will set me back about 400 USD (excluding the PC) which aint great to say the least.
My main reason with going with Protectli was the Intel® I226-V over a generic Realtek controller.
If I look at getting something like an Nuc with an I3 or I5 would that be a better option?
