Intel Celeron J3450
The declining cryptomining market has it's advantages - now you can get your hands on an interesting device that was announced as at CES 2018 as a crypto-currency super-hero : during the day it could be used as a standard Windows 10 PC but when you no longer use it actively it becomes a piece of an entire infrastructure with other Acute Angle machines, mining Ethereum or doing other work.
It was sold at a steep $600 just one year ago, and the device was reportedly sold out several times.
But time passed, and the device can be purchased now for one third of it's original price - just above $200 on GearBest.
What do you get for ~$200? A Mini PC with an unique design, wooden finish, an Intel Celeron N3450 SoC with maxed out RAM (8GB) and 64GB of eMMC ROM, 3 USB 3.0 ports and Gigabit Ethernet.

I like to write about devices that stand out from the crowd - and I've got my eyes on this particular device for a few months now, even exchanged some emails with the manufacturer.
The price drop was a surprise to me, as just 3 months ago it was twice as much. I've contacted GearBest also, maybe it's a mistake.
Other sites have it listed at $300, which is closer to the quote I've got from the manufacturer.
There is no mention about the cloud functions at all - they're perhaps disable or maybe the company can/will decide to use the device when the owner is AFC ...
As mentioned above, you can get one from GearBest., currently at $199.99 (9% off).
