Suh-weet Wee x86_32/64 Machine

 

As long as you are not doing high-end graphics, complex mathematical computations, or virtualization, this machine is more than adequate. I'm using it to play around with Linux (CentOS) and Windows x86_32/64 software. I got it as an Open Box ($130)....

Can Take 8 GB RAM - 2 x Crucial DDR3 1066 4GB ; Low Power (40 watts) ; Runs 64-bit Windows (7,8) and 64-bit Linux (CentOS) ; Uses Laptop RAM and Laptop SATA Hard Drive ; Good Enough

No CD/DVD/BD-ROM drive bay (use external USB) ; Video Performance is anemic (Generic Drivers) ; FPU Performance is probably anemic ; CPU Does not have Intel Virtualization features

A fine wee computer.

 

I got this as an Ubuntu LAMP server to augment my windows machine, and am glad I chose it. I have used old/cheap laptops for this in the past, but I prefer this now. Plus, its like an adorable, baby server. Aww! The processor is perfectly adequate for...

Tons of ports, runs silent, bios seems good to me, easy to open, nice design, runs Ubuntu well, quality construction, and pretty nifty

Great little machines

 

Great little machines... Was thinking about buying a couple for myself to use as XBMC clients (they DO support audio over HDMI, even in Linux!), but I think I will wait to see if Intel releases new Cedar View graphics drivers first. Good/fast little...

Bought a couple of these at work to use as kiosks/signage. Installed Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit on them via the SD port. Make sure you buy SODIMMs (eg. "laptop memory")!! I also used a 30GB SSD, and they run great! See notes below on how to get Ubuntu working

Initially I had issues installing Ubuntu Linux on this thing ; First, in order to boot from SD card, you need to enable it in the BIOS/UEFI menus. Also, you need to append "LIVEMEDIA=/dev/mmcblk0p1" to the kernel parameters (in ISOLINUX when you...

Great little system

 

So many useful purposes. Get a DC power supply it might be able to be used in cars, don't know for sure though.

Small, fanless, quiet, CEDAR Trail, Hyper-Threaded, actually can take at least 8GB (G.Skill RAM 1333Mhz was used and it took it). Slap an SSD in here and it is perfectly silent. Using it as a Powerpoint slideshow computer for my Rita's Water Ice store....

Great mini system

 

Purchased 2 to use as computers for digital signage. Configured with a 60 gig SSD, 4 gig DDR3 and Win7 Pro. Did not expect the performance this machine delivered. Runs Office 2010 with no issues, even runs Sage MAS 500 with no issues. Due to this we...

Small size, ease of use. NO heat, NO noise. Performs great
