Ready-to-build mini PC

The MSI Cubi N ADL-020BUS is a new barebone system built around an Intel Celeron N100 processor with two cores and a 3.40 GHz maximum turbo frequency. It arrives without memory or storage so you can choose the exact DDR4 3200 SO-DIMM and 2.5-inch drive your workload needs. The 0.66-litre chassis fits on a desk shelf or behind a display.

Home-office users and digital-signage installers

This unit suits anyone who wants a silent, low-power desktop for web apps, 4K video playback or thin-client deployments. Builders who need more than 16 GB of RAM, discrete graphics or additional internal drive bays should look at something else.

Single SO-DIMM slot limits memory to 16 GB

Only one 260-pin DDR4 3200 module can be installed, so the maximum capacity is fixed at 16 GB. If your application requires 32 GB or dual-channel bandwidth, this barebone will not meet that requirement.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM or the 2.5" bay for my first upgrade?

Start with the DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM — the system will not boot without memory. The single 260-pin slot supports up to 16 GB. Afterwards, use the 2.5" bay for a hard drive or SSD.

What does the Celeron N100 3.40 GHz turbo mean for daily use?

The two-core processor reaches 3.40 GHz in short bursts, so web browsing, office apps and 4K video playback stay responsive while the 6 W TDP keeps heat and fan noise low.

How many displays can the HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4 outputs drive together?

Both video ports are active simultaneously; the integrated graphics support three displays in total, so you can run two external monitors plus the built-in USB-C DP alternate mode.
