Off-the-shelf yes, home no, it's just a specialized setup with some odd
requirements. We're fine with paying for good quality components but
there's no need to overpay for something that offers a bunch of stuff we
don't need, especially when we're going to be building several of these.
I'm just trying to find the best balance, and I'm hoping that
upper-mid-range Atoms are where it's at.
Well, did you solve it?
Not in two days :)
I'm still doing research and trying to figure out what's even worth
looking at. I'll start ordering and receiving components over the next
week or so, but it'll be the end of the month easy before we've decided
on the right combination of parts and can start rolling things out to
the next stage.
What's your useful idea to bring to other readers?
Not sure what you're asking here?
Do you have any experience related to this that we would like to read
on?
Well I mean I've been assembling systems since the late 90's, been using
OpenBSD as the OS of choice for network appliances for roughly 10 years
or so, and been very interested in small form factor computers for a
while (I've been big on laptops from back when they were still kind of a
waste of money). Not sure how different this is from any other tech guy
though, but this list isn't the place for an auto-bio anyway. If you
have specific questions I can try to answer.
Jumping topics like a recently released person, hopefully you were not
wasting everybody's time on the list.
Well, I'm sorry you think that starting a whopping two threads in a row
is indicative of being mentally disabled and/or a criminal. The two main
questions I had were pretty much answered, so it wasn't a waste of time
for me at least.
