   Dude...give it up.   
      
   You bought components and assembled a crappy POS mini PC...   
      
   ...and then by implication claimed that it was equivalent to a Mac Mini,   
   but cost "far less".   
      
   Truth is: it costs "far less" because it IS far less.   
      
   And when challenged to show a mini PC you can just buy from an OEM   
   ready-to-use...   
      
   ...you completely caved.
