These seem to be quite the rare commodity as of late. Any idea where to find one now?

I did find one on eBay, but it's open box and without a hard drive. Would you recommend getting it in that state?

The eBay USA reseller is Mr. Gates (UdfnYkyOj7F).
He posted the availability of those Last Excito B3 units back in 2017 !!

I purchased one (wireless) back in 2017 and a second one (w/o wireless) in 2020.
Today, both have a 3 TB Western Digital Red NAS (older design) drives.

The latest supported uboot.kwb file (selected MouettE version of Rodeus work).
http://install.excito.org/b3/uboot/beta ... rodeus.zip

This 2021 thread covers my update of the 2020 New Jersey B3 unit.
Gordon’s 2021 update : bubbagen image (version 1.14),
viewtopic.php?t=6499

Creating this USB (Gordon’s Gentoo OS with Excito B3 images) takes about 20-25 minutes.

Both units running 24/7 as file and archival servers.
