they are pricey as heck but theyd have more than enough expansion and stuff

tbh just get a nuc

in comparison https://www.amazon.com/Intel-NUC7-Celeron-Mini-BOXNUC7CJYH1/dp/B07B79CS8N

it actualy looks like decent deal

sadly it does not have io ports (well tru usb

that would require memory and storage on top of the deal

so yeah

120 for a board with 32gb emnc

some options on ali as well

i wonder how their NIC-stack is done

can it handle 1gb in and out + usb devices

for up-boards i can find other uses due they have 2 nics

http://www.up-board.org/upsquared/specifications-up2/ might wanna wait for this?

2 gigabit ethernet

good alternative to pcengine probly

what are you using it for

i mean https://www.landashop.com/cmp-apu-2c4.html

same pricepoint

at first i needed just something as test-server and sensor test sandbox formyself

but dual-nic board would be thrown as firewall

actually looks like there might sales on those mini pcs on that ali sale

yeah ali has some good firewall stuff options on their Qotoms etc

surprisngly cheap for what it is

just case with quick-releases

yeah but they're a pain to get lol

but yeah good price until you see shipping

oh damn that shipping

lol

You can probably work out something cheaper with the seller.

thing is i have plans to order shitload of sensor and other modules

and do some experimentation for one project

on what i could use and what could be fun

and what is no way in hell

(mostly ali sensors at start ofc)

but raspbi2 (i guess i could get second 3 but meh) being pain in the ass due no built-in wifi/bluetooth

raspbi2 being bain in the ass jus simple nodejs setup
