These seem like ideal machines for workstations, for mom and dad, and for virtualization hosts.

This model, the Beelink EQi12 even has a built in power supply so managing them in a rack is also super handy. And of course the price is not too shabby either.

I have had pretty good luck with these in the past but I'm interested in hearing other's experiences, if any.

I can't imagine that they are 100% on top of firmware updates, but have they had issues in the past with Windows keys or any other shady stuff I should know about?

I’ve got two and they’re awesome. The first thing I do with them is blast windows off and install Linux.

The fan failed on one of them after about ten months, and the warranty replacement for it was pretty easy. They asked for a video and the serial number, then sent the replacement fan.
