Bill of Materials

This is the list of hardware that I’ve bought in order to deploy VCF9. I started with one Minisforum A2 (barebones). I bought RAM, NVMe, Mikrotik separately from various different suppliers.

However, as of this writing in January 2026, the RAM prices have gone through the roof, so it’s not viable for me anymore on getting another Minisforum A2.
