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.
Chris,
Its says it uses a ATX 24pin power supply. Hope that is right, I'd
rather not have rig up an external supply for it. Though I do have a
couple that would work.
Yeah, this will run 24/7. Like lights, the kids don't turn them off.
I had a bunch of development servers in room in my garage. Noise and
heat drove me to build the room.
Thanks,
Andy

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