Hello Mike,
Have you tested the board with an msata drive? I have a similar mobo (micputer af2s1e) and msata mode does not work for me. I set the jumpers to msata mode but it did not help. The board won,t power up with an msata drive installed in mpcie slot.
Please advice.
Thank you!

this is a big news to all computer game addicts. According to this page it consumes less-heat and uses less-power which sums-up to unlimited use! Warning!: please do have a rest to avoid health problems.

Can you share the motherboard you use, since it must have at least 2 pci slots or how are you conecting them to the atom?

Gah. I can’t figure out how to actually turn the darn thing on. Is there a manual for this board somewhere? I did not get one in the package.

I have tried to get this monitor working with Ubuntu 10.10. Get the green screen, then the console but cannot get it set up for graphics. How did you set this one up?

Doesn’t having an external power supply to allow the monitor to be thinner solve a problme and crete a problem. Where do you put the power supply?

I built an early version of this board into a car computer for CES 2011. (video)
It’s in the ByByte case with Centrafuse SW, an SSD, Wifi and Bluetooth through USB dongles.

Glad to see these boards come to market – easy to workwith, accelerated video playback, stays very cool.

The Mac Mini’s can house more than 2GB of RAM. I’ve got 4GB in mine. Its possible the 2010 models could do more? Not sure. Anyways. 4GB is enough for a HTPC. Thats really not the issue. The Mini’s should have Sandy Bridge this summer.

Got my board today! Can’t wait to grab a little laptop HDD and fire this baby up! It did not come with any documentation, however. Are pinouts available somewhere? I don’t want to fry the VGA or serial ports.

The reused/recycled packaging is much appreciated. Nice to see details like this looked after!

I tried emailing sales last week but haven’t heard back – any updates or better way to get more info? I’m looking for more detailed specifications and possibly a quote to ship to the US.

Like a commenter on another recent post, I’m planning to build a car PC including the ByByte double DIN enclosure.

Thanks!

Finally got contacted by sales and was told the board will NOT be sold on its own. So which is it?

I’m interested in making a reasonably large order sometime in the future, but there is one thing I’d like to see board-level support for first:

Network booting over HTTP/HTTPS.

More specifically, storing and booting the gPXE rom image from the BIOS flash space.
http://etherboot.org/wiki/start

When correctly built, it should only be around 64KB.

Right now all of our machines boot via PXE -> TFTP, getting gPXE, gPXE grabbing a bootscript from an HTTP server, then booting a kernel/initramfs or windows embedded ram-image. We’d *LOVE* to ditch the tftp server forevermore.

Ideally, I’d like to see a field in the bios to enter an address to fetch, in standard URL notation.
gPXE supports http:// https:// ftp:// and tftp:// so everyone should be happy.

This makes diskless mass deployment and management MUCH easier, especially with 4GB machines.

Are you using an EFI BIOS like my MSI E-350 test boards?

I was thinking of using Open Mobile, but Centrafuse may also be an option. I haven’t had time to investigate the options extensively yet.

Hi, do you have any information concerning advantages in power consumption of this board over the zacate e-350?

“The Lenovo it was compared to is much more sensible, and takes far less power “— but it has an internal power supply”.-
that is also wasting power and probably only wins the test because of a more efiicient power brick-
probably with switching control, lack of voltage drop etc.
you can save a waatt or two by being clever with the power brick and putting it in a draught/on its thin edge or adding a fan – i used to do this when i was using an inverter- the fan on the inverter would also cool my laptops power brick- silly but gave me a little extra battreylife!

they tested the samsung at the wall lenovo tested 11w at best samsung was 18w- they even suggest a more efficient power brick to get the samsungs rating down! so in the 12dcv situation your porbbly looking at not much difference in power consumption between the two – the samsung is probably designed with this in mind- smsung are well awre thta people are putting these in there cars.

if you supplied them both with 12v and 5v rails or whtever they are splitting the 12v into it would be appropriate test of hradwrae vs hardware
but
you are comparing apples and oranges or AC to dc- not the same- and in the offgrid application mentioned here you are totally wrong bar the argumnet the smsung is flimsier
the following comment can only be made by an idiot who is trying to sell you an inverter or an inferior display for your needs.
“If you’re applauding Samsung’s use of an external 12V brick for this monitor, I’m surprised. Monitors with external power bricks have been around for ages. This monitor is ok, but not really great — see our review: http://www.silentpcreview.com/Samsung_Lenovo_monitors The Lenovo it was compared to is much more sensible, and takes far less power — but it has an internal power supply.

Hi Everyone,

After conversations with AMD, we’ve decided to go with a Long Life Cycle APU, the T56N.

We will be selling the board with RAM and without a chassis to help support all the really cool projects everyone here is working on.

Jim and David – the Bybyte case is fantastic. Thanks for letting me know about that. Are you planning to run Centrafuse on it or what kind of software?

We have a batch arriving later this month. As per the latest post (check the blog) it will be £220 with 4GB RAM and a 12V AC adapter and excluding a drive.

The Mini PCIe card slot on the bottom supports M-SATA so you could use the great Intel 310 40GB SSDs which cost about £80.

If anyone wants to reserve one, email sales at aleutia.com and we can send you a Paypal or Google Checkout payment request.

i am very interested in the finished design! how much does it weigh? what will the final cost be? will you sell it complete with the 4gb ddr3 ram and a small built in ssd or some kind of storage for an o/s built in? let me know! this would be perfect to use at work hooked up to the monitor there and tethered with my phone .
