I used to really like the minis but I had to basically e-waste two of them because the ethernet went bad (lightning strike i think) and there was really no way to replace them and the OS would crash from hardware issues from it.

FWIW if this keeps happening to you, you can get ethernet surge protectors. Or use a couple cheap media converters from copper to a fiber back to copper.
I recommend using optical networking if you are confident about the lightning strike Ethernet damage.
