Greetings:
At first glance it looks pretty good but lacks pci slots unless my eyes
have fully given out.
Ditto on disk interface. So unless the pport has a good EPP and
therefore useful for 7i43 | USC | ppmc it is not a good deal. Just my
tuppence.

I just looked around. There seem to be many at this price point of just
under $200 that all have 6 Watt CPUs in them and several have parallel
ports. Anyways, sub-$20 Intell machines for industrial use seem to by
plentiful. Much better then a Raspberry Pi for not much more
However if I were setting up a new system I'd not want a parallel port.
Ethernet seems to be better and many of these little mini-ITX boards have
two Ethernet ports on them, as I assume they are designed to be file
servers.
In actually I just bought one, kind of. It is a Synology NAS with one of
these low-power quad core CPUs inside. It does RAID and will hold all my
files with a 10 Watt CPU. (I know it is nothing to to with LCNC, except
file storage. I'm looking to consolidate storage and backup

I followed that link. Wow, that is a good deal. Especially when you
look at the power supply. It uses a 12 volt barrel jack and a large
size wall-wort. The CPU burns all of 6 Watts. It could run on
battery power.
It is good to look for low-power PCs if they are going to run all day,
every day. The cost of power really adds up. The bix Xeon powered HP
I use for development work costs maybe 12 cents an hour. That is
about $400 at the end of the year.
The machine I use to power LCNC and my 3D printer is an Intel i5 and I
could justify downgrading it based on power-saving along. I had not
realized there was such things at 6 Watt quad-cord Intel CPUs.

I was hoping to update to a recent Debian and LinuxCNC version.
However, I have a 32bit motherboard. This is for our school, so

trying to contain cost by just replacing the motherboard.
Any suggestions for a 64bit mini-itx motherboard?
Most any NEW mobo today will need a new cpu too since the sockets
are
changed and probably won't take your old memory for the same
reason.
ATM I'm running a normal sized Asus Z370-AII with the cheapest 6
core i5 on it and I'm as happy as I can be. Asus makes decent
stuff. Draws about 140 watts less than the phenom it replaced.
And stay away from OLOy memory, I had a failure and they needed
more data than I had to replace it, so I had to buy a different
brand to replace it. That's BS, so be sure, get it in writing,
that you can get in warranty replacements by simply shipping the
bad one back with a photocopy of the bill of sale. If they won't
do that, go down the list to the next vendor.
Gene,
It looks like most of the Mini ITX boards have the cpu soldered in. I
don't imagine I'd need a lot of memory. 2GB maybe?
Looks like this will do the trick. $200 with 2GB of memory.

There is however, one detail that would discourage me, its already EOL,
came out in q4-15, lifespan 4 years, so its approaching 2 years since
last shipped.
Where is the support, I never got that page to load.
Thanks,
Andy
