Reminder: Yr. humble servant being a Bloody Yank despite knowing how to spell 'colour' and having generally Pommie diction[1], and being a decent cricket batsman, said link's pricing is in US$, and I am not totally certain that Newegg is an Oz vendor. (You would know, presumably.) I do know that some (e.g.) ASRock motherboard models are available in Oz but not North America and vice-versa, as well. I chose those links mostly to call attention to the HTPC category and the amazing combination of AMD's 'Kabini' series of SoCs and compatible mini-ITX motherboards. If interested in such offerings, the following LUG thread started by former _Linux Journal_ editor Don Marti, subject header 'Quiet, Freedom-compatible NAT/firewall/misc box?', may be of interest: http://linuxmafia.com/pipermail/conspire/2015-March/007983.html Again, said LUG is in the Schwarzenegger-ian principality of California, not, alas, in Victoria. (The hosting machine, linuxmafia.com, is my patheically obsolete VA Linux Systems model 2230, in my garage, manufactured in the halcyon year of 2001, bearing 1.5GB of RAM and an awesome pair of Pentium III CPUs. ;-> ) Some of the postings to the 'Quiet, Freedom-compatible NAT/firewall/misc box?' thread have further details about power and about the differing AMD SoC product lines -- to the best of my strictly amateur and fallible ability to determine. ([insert voice of Deforest Kelley:] 'Dammit, Jim, I'm a sysadmin, not a hardware engineer.') [1] As I put it to my wife, I speak American only through translation (having grown up in Hong Kong attending the local Brit school). _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
