Amazing Value

Pros: amazing price 2 gigabit ethernet ports (Broadcom [bge]) 2 SATA ports small
Cons: loud CPU fan - I easily replaced it with a quiet 40mm fan video resolution - it took some fiddling with 'xrandr' in Linux to get it to display at my monitor's native 1600 x 1200 resolution flimsy backpanel - there is a ton of flex when connecting cables - the rest of the enclosure is rock-solid
Overall Review: Operating Systems Tested (all worked): Linux (Ubuntu & Trisquel), OpenBSD, FreeBSD Included items: - enclosure - motherboard - CPU + fan - cables Stuff you need to buy: - hdd (2.5" only) - memory Not tested: - HDMI output - dual monitor configuration - audio - USB3 ports Closing thoughts: This computer is not meant to replace your workstation. Instead, it is a valuable machine that can be used for OS testing, router, firewall, server, SpinRite, etc. * * * * * UPDATE (November 7, 2017) * * * * * This computer has been running without a hiccup for me. I have loaded it up with OpenBSD and it has been serving as my home router since August, 2013 ...over four years!!! Amazing!
