Comparison assumptions & disclaimers
U.S. public configurator prices and listed options were checked October 14, 2026. The HX500 baseline is $2,408 and includes a Celeron G5900TE, 8 GB memory, 128 GB SATA storage, dual COM, no operating system, and a 120 W North American power adapter. Memory adders reflect module totals less the included 8 GB module; 32 GB and 64 GB configurations use two modules. A 512 GB NVMe option was listed below the selected 512 GB SATA option price, but uses a different interface. Windows license tiers and prices vary by processor; this comparison maps i9 selections to the listed High tier. Confirm CPU and license eligibility with OnLogic. The default example is approximate and is not an official OnLogic quote. RSI’s 3-year limited warranty excludes memory and storage; OnLogic’s standard system warranty is 2 years, with an observed $260 extension to 3 years. Coverage differs. Other component choices may cost less. Protocols not listed in reviewed documentation are not thereby claimed unsupported. Prices, availability, product details, and terms may change.
