does it have serial

I think so

Let me take a look

yea try powering them up and see if there's any output on the serial port maybe

could be some embedded device w/o vga enabled or the vid failed

pics?

is it just a miniitx deal or some sort of picoitx or custom layout

is there a jumper for video output selection?

That's the first

that's a yuuge case, prolly miniitx

damn that looks dece

I'd pay $28 for that

i have a bunch of those, could be a jetway or something

yeah the case and the psu are worth more than the mobo lol

you can probably straight up upgrade it to a q1900/j3160 if you wanna stick with that atom profile but want quad core

internal

It can support 2 sat and one ide

Which is why I want to use it as a file server

Make 3 sata

But annoyingly I don't think it powers on with desktop HDDs

you tried a desktop psu or variable psu and no dice eh

I only have that variable 12V that does 2.25A

whatever you do don't throw out the case cause it's worth more than the mobo lol

is there eSATA on mobo?

"you ain't seen nothing yet.mp3"

prolly not

No eSata

oh there's pciX

you could add eSATA on pciX, or usb 3.0 and use an external enclosure

and then run a media server

second one

damn that's slick

no model number on that mobo?

TBH the reason i pulled the trigger on those Dell fx160s was kinda the same issue you're running into now

It's a eMachines mobo

With a single core Atom 230 onboard

the cost of case and psu to play with older atoms is more than the cost of a whole new system
