The Wanderboard may be what you're after. If I remember right, it has options up to 4 cores, and 2GB RAM. Also if I remember right, is priced on the high end at ~$140. It has SATA, but only 10/100 fast ethernet ( no GbE networking ). On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 11:59 PM, Brice Buronfosse <[email protected]> wrote: > Interesting to read all of your replies.
