Minisforum BD790i SE Ordering and Shipping

*Note* The SE does not come with a 2230 WiFi/Bluetooth card (I knew this). It also does not come with the mount for this card nor the female RP SMA terminals on the motherboard IO plate, nor the antenna wires.

I ordered a 790i SE with the code 790ideal for an extra $30 off. Total was $330 with free shipping.

My order was placed on Saturday, Oct 5. I received a DHL tracking number on Friday, Oct 11.

The board is shipping from Hong Kong. It hasn't shipped yet, and I will update on when it ships and how long shipping takes to the US.

To get the board up and running, I will also need ram and a 2230 or USB wifi/bluetooth card. I need 64gb ram for my workloads, so total will come in right at $500. I would say that is pretty reasonable for around 5950x performance with 64gb ram.

I personally don't see the non SE board really being worth it as that's going for $480, and with ram would be $630. At that price, I would just find a used 7950x and B660 motherboard and get quite a bit more sustained performance.
