Hi, George
OLE Nepal is using MSI pre-configured purchased through a local
distributor. I have not seen the box they are using
at Amazon or Newegg. It is essentially the same as the other MSI
Nettops, except in a smaller form factor and taking
only 2.5" notebook drives.
The one you linked to is the one I am using. So far the two I have
purchased have worked well; however, the second
one has trouble with the two usb 3 ports (at 1TB, usb 2 takes 12+ hours
to copy!).
The Corsair memory has a better price, but Crucial may be your
preference. Make sure you get DDR3 notebook memory (not desktop - they
are not interchangeable).
I have had good luck with the Western Digital Blue 2.5in 1TB drive
($75.25 at Amazon).
So the budget would be:
Zotac ZBox 192.99
Crucial 2x2GB 46.99
WD 1TB 75.25
Total 315.23

Hi James,
Can you send me a link to the hardware that is being used in
Nepal? What I'm currently looking at is
http://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-Intel-Barebone-Mini-PC-ZBOX-ID41-U/dp/B004WO8O9Y/ref=zg_bs_3015426011_3.
I thought 4 GB memory and a 1 TB drive might be needed. But we
have about $400 budgeted and someone measured the power draw as
about 25 watt.
Not as efficient as ARM, but ARM isn't really ready for prime time
yet, unless the cubox materializes quickly enough.
