  The same N150 CPU mini PC with 12GB RAM I bought on Amazon a year ago seems to have considerably increased in price, as a result of the RAM price surge... Even though what's soldered onto its motherboard is probably the cheapest possible ddr4-2666 or similar.

  It's wild that the 128GB RAM machines have completely disappeared. I feel like I'm in possession of a sacred item, having bought a Ryzen 9 system just a month or two before the craze hit.

  This is so cool. Thanks for doing this. I was able to get the Optiplex 7050 with the i5-6500T and 8GB of RAM (no SSD) for $40 USD about 2 years ago, shocked it's $100 USD now! I brought 8 for some reason, this makes me feel better that I at least purchased it during the glut.

  This is extremely useful and cool. I dream of having visualizations like this for anything I buy that has specifications.

  Why do you use a TLD that is commonly blocked?

  Nice homage to MiniPCs - I have a fanless N150 box with usb-c HDD as a carefree NAS/docker host for years.

  It would help if you actually explained what the color means.What is yellow? What is green? What is blue? Are they relative to their CPU column? Relative to the pricing row? Absolute?

  Very cool site. Thanks for making this. Would be awesome to have data on energy consumption as well. :-)

  Nice work. Clustering around N95/N100/N150 visible.

  Could you also plot various Mac Minis for reference?

  This is exactly the kind of chart that gets better the more suspicious it is of its own inputs. Since Gemini is extracting specs from listings, I would love to see a small confidence field or "last verified from listing" date next to each point.Two fields that would make the Pareto view easier to trust:1. New vs refurbished vs unknown. Mini PC listings blur that line constantly. 2. Power draw at idle and under load, even if it starts as a rough bucket. A box that wins on dollars can lose badly if it is going to sit in a homelab for three years.The CPU/GPU/storage/memory toggle is nice. It makes the site feel like a tiny buying lab instead of another affiliate table.
