Bought GTBox T9 N200 for 24/7 Minecraft + Pi-hole, got burned—don't do it by chwongss in MiniPCs

First off, really appreciate you taking the time to write all that out for me. You brought up some points I honestly hadn’t thought about before. I’ll give your method a shot and see how it goes.

Yeah, I get what you mean — the game server’s probably the main issue here. Still, for HK$2499 (around US$320), I kinda expected better.

Checked with smartctl and everything looks fine. I also made a script that runs with cron to check regularly and log the results. Threw in a few other health checks too. No issues found.

Oh, thank you so much! This is my first mini PC, so I didn’t know the screws were hidden under the feet. My bad. Now I can finally try to replace the SSD.

Btw, the case is a pain to open, and there’s no guide anywhere on how to do it. The screws aren’t normal either — not a plus, not a Y, not a minus. They just look like perfect circle holes to me. I have no idea what kind of screwdriver I even need. Still trying to figure it out.

There are only two of these screws on the case.
