   I paid 100€ for the D34010. Yes, if you need more than 1 lan port you need   
   to look elsewhere (in some use cases, a USB3 ethernet adapter might work).   
      
   There are current (Intel gen-12 and newer) machines that are in the ~5W idle   
   ballpark, but these tend to cost a lot more.

   I regularly buy chips and breakout boards there. Getting reliable   
   information about power consumption before you buy is a big problem, and   
   warranty/back-shipment costs is another.   
      
   Also, I am quite wary of chinese equipment using mains voltage.   
      
   I just bought a JBC-compatible soldering station from aliexpress. It works   
   fine, but electrical safety is less than marginal: less than 1mm creepage   
   distance from mains to the non-grounded metal case is definitely not OK.   
      
   I had to build a new housing (and used a different, safe power supply). In   
   this case it was worth the effort and I had considered this before buying,   
   but for a mini-PC, I would rather buy something that can be used out of the   
   box without danger of electrocution.
