This is the predecessor of their ALIX board. It's almost seven years old and still working 24/7. Once in that time I had to replace the CF card because it showed some write errors. Else the only maintenance I've done on the board is to upgrade to the latest release of OpenBSD every six months. No, I'm not working for PC Engines.

Re: open bsd router
Thanks for replies. Thanks for correction about ALIX not arm , esturday I missing that. My tired eyes see AMD like ARM - first leter match :) ALIX low power consuming, fanless and long life - good features. I still doubt, but lowest price not associated with long life. For me - good things price always higer then lowest, but not to high at all. Maybe ALIX is what I need. Many many thanks for replies.

It's not arm but... within 100W there are several sparc64 machines with much more power and possibilities.

Hey, The PC Engines Alix boards are working quite well. If you're looking for ARM machines, you'd rather have a look at http://cubox-i.com or http://utilite-computer.com . Note that the second Gigabit Ethernet in the Utilite is connected via PCI-e and will need to be worked on. \Patrick Am 03.10.2013 um 23:37 schrieb alexey.kurin...@gmail.com: Hi.
