I’ve been meaning for years to set up a media and streaming PC, because my 1200w main PC wouldn’t fit the bill as far as electricity goes, pun slightly intended. This little guy works great, it’s my new Plex server, along with all streaming apps, it beats smart TV streaming because it’s much more efficient and effective, while also having the ability to block YouTube ads. I immediately upgraded to a 2 TB M.2, but there is nothing wrong with the original drive, although finding a quality gen 3 at this point wasn’t as easy as it once was, memory is fine, because you won’t be doing anything crazy on this computer. I haven’t had a single issue with it, it’s quiet and has been running consistently for weeks now without an issue. It’s not going to win any speed and performance awards, but as long as you keep your background apps lite, you should have no issues. Only concern is that the small fan built in will eventually fail, but that’s a bridge that can easily be crossed down the road. Read more
I bought the 8GB, 256GB version and swapped the 8GB stick with a different computer with same type ram so this MeLe could have 16GB and my other computer 24GB (8+16gb). All works great. I upgraded the SSD to a samsung 1TB as well. Currently it's running 3, 27" 2.5k monitors. This setup is not working that well, but I'm sure it's not really supposed to run 3 monitors well. I also peeled off some the mesh to allow better air flow. IDK about dust, I'll dust it out with my compressed air. I want max cooling as it does get pretty warm under load. So is it worth it? Ehhh, it would be nice if this thing was faster, but for the price, it's faster than what I think you should get for the money so that's nice. Read more
I installed Ubuntu LTS and Coolify on this mini PC to run containerized home automation services. Everything works flawlessly - no performance issues, fast response times, and stable operation. The device stays cool and quiet even under load. With 32GB RAM and 512GB storage, it’s more than enough for my needs. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a compact and powerful solution for self-hosting. Read more
I have the Overclock 3C with 512GB HD and 16GB of RAM. Frankly, I'm shocked by how good of a little computer this is. I bought it to host the remote desktop sessions I do when working remotely with multiple monitors. I've found it so easily capable of that. When browsing the web, using web versions of office applications and so on, it's remarkably responsive, so I'm convinced it would be adequate as a daily home PC. I had no problems getting to work with any monitor(s), keyboard, webcams, etc. I plugged into it. I even got it to meet my company's compliance requirements -- encrypting the drives with BitLocker, and enabling secure boot in the BIOS. Easy. The only thing I can say negatively is that the fan in a little noisy. There's a variable high-pitch noise you can hear, but if you put it a bit further away, it becomes white noise. If quiet is your thing, I'd suggest going with their Quieter line. I went with this one, because I wanted the option of 3 monitors. Read more
I was introduced to these at work where we use the lower end models for signage. I bought this more robust model (Overclock4C N100 up to 3.4GHz Alder-Lake 12th Gen, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD) to connect to my 55" flat screen so that I could do some computing with a lot of real estate. As stated in description, this is not for video editing nor heavy gaming, so do not purchase this for those uses. So far, it works very well. I did not see it in the description, and I took a chance on the OS, but I was pleased to find it came with Windows 11 Pro. Plus, no bloatware. Simple set up and connection. Does what I need it to do, does not get hot, task manager looks good on resources, graphics are good. If it holds up well over time, I may come back and give it 5 stars. Read more
As shown in the photo, I'm really curious about what such a small computer host can do. As a photographer, I attempted to run DaVinci 18 on it, and it's obviously a crazy and unrealistic idea... 😂 But surprisingly, it can barely run Photoshop, though not very fast. I can now carry it in my pocket, car's armrest, or the small pocket in my bag... Paired with my mini mouse and soft keyboard (not necessary as most hotel computer rooms provide these), it becomes an excellent on-the-go office assistant, without worrying about the information security risks of using shared hotel computers. At the same time, its price makes me incredibly comfortable! Read more
First, installation and configuration all went splendidly. It PC functioned as expected from the time I purchased it in December of 2024. In April of 2025, 6 months after purchase, the display would freeze several times per minute. It did this for several days before it stopped functioning completely. The power light would not come. I followed the vendors directions to troubleshoot the problem. Nothing helped. When it stopped functioning I reset the BIOS, per troubleshooting instructions, and the PC came alive again. However the problem was still recurring. This problem is a show stopper for me, so I stopped using it and tried to contact Melo support. I was unable to contact anyone via phone or chat, so I filled out a "Report A Problem" form and submitted it. That was on 5/30/2025. When, after a week I had received even an acknowledgement that the form had been received, I email their support to ask for status and an ETA on their response. As of 6/11/2025 there has been no response. Their Legal Disclaimer states: "MeLE offers One Year Warranty, Courtesy Customer Service Replies in 24 Hours Performance." Read more
