    Only 3 shelves because....

    .... if this barebone works perfectly and the ryzen 5 keeps its promises, it's a crossroads to install ssd and hdd.
    1) ssd: you have to unscrew the 4 screws that hold the hdd 2.5" mounting bars, the five screws that fix the cm to the case, remove the cm from the case and finally insert the ssd under the cm. Then, of course, reverse the operation for reassembly.
    2) hdd: the screw holes in the hdd mounting bars are not easily accessible to fix the hdd. To install my hdd, I had to remove the bars, attach the bars to the hdd and then reattach the bars to the cm.
    3) detail: the power light should blink to indicate activity on a disk.

    For these 3 reasons and the fact that the screws are really mini from mini, only buy this device if you feel like a watchmaker :)

    Compact, elegant, multi-tasking but noisy

    Compact and elegant, this Barebone PC is equipped with a very complete connectivity for its size (6 USB 3.0 ports, 1 USB-C port, 2 SD ports, 1 RJ45 port and 1 PCI-E 3.0 slot for M.2 SSD) as well as a powerful processor (AMD Ryzen 5 4500U) which will be suitable for all types of use (office, HTPC...) except gaming.

    It also has the advantage of being able to be placed flat or upright or to be fixed behind a monitor.

    2 drawbacks: ?

    - The PCI-E 3.0 slot for M.2 SSDs is located at the back of the motherboard, which makes it difficult to mount and requires the removal of the Wi-Fi card
    - Due to its very compact size, the processor heats up a lot which causes the fan to run very quickly at full speed and become noisy
