Can someone explain to what this thing is, as I'm not deep in to the fields of technology. I made 800k on kickstarter so it must be something special.

>Is it a typical motherboard?
>what case is used to be safe?
>does it need a graphics card?
>Is RAM included?
>What about storage?

Sorry if the answer is obvious but I am a noob in technology.

It's a mini computer.
Literally just a RPI style board with as much hardware as their 36w power supply allows. It's a lousy product as the really good one is $259, which means it's competing against home built PCs that are obviously more powerful.

>A motherboard as cheap as $89!!!!!!!!!
our species's technological advances transcend all reason

Excuse u it's a motherboard+RAM+mediocre CPU
WHAT A DEAL

Also it's small and people dig that

Wait, really?

In this case it's actually not a bad deal for that size and price.

A x86 raspberry pi? I want one.

>no ram included
>8gb emmc

Into the trash it goes.

all of the chips offered for this stupid thing support PCIe but none of them have any PCIe slots. What a pile of garbage

>I made 800k on kickstarter so it must be something special.
I presume you meant it*

It's a computer.

I think intel is giving people free chips or secretly funding the crowd funding campaigns for these things. There has to be at least 10 similar versions by now. Pretty sure it's some sort of scam to convince investors they are making huge progress in IoT products.

They don't compare well to SD820 or other highend SoCs. If there were demand I would expect SD820 boards everywhere.

Its basically the same as the atom boards they slap into every tablet and mini pc on the market.

I wouldn't buy it.

I'd like something like that for a home server, but none of them get 2 ethernet jacks and 2 SATA ports (with SATA power from the power adataptor) for redundant storage.

If it had 2xLAN it would be pretty useful.

It's nice to see that mini computers are getting so much more powerful and going down in cost so fast
will get easier to make all kind of small diy projects

Meanwhile on ARM 2x 10gbE, 4 sata and pcie3

You can't run anything on ARM; most packages are unsupported. X86 and 64 support virtually every package in existence on the other hand

Install gentoo, faggot

are you guys retarded? at least look it up b4 posting.

this is an anonymous image board, friends.

Wow, if that does end up costing only $300, I'll be very much impressed, even if it does come with 10 Mossad botnets.

It's a x86 Atom based computer with programmable GPIO ports.

Into the trash it goes.

I imagine it supports Arduino shields, should work if you can write drivers for it.

Debian testing has packages for, OpenSSH, Apache, nginx, Mysql, php, python, OpenVPN, Postfix, Dovecot, OpenSSL, nfs, zfs, xen and lxc.
No KVM, but apart from that, what can you possibly need more?

how the fuck would an ARM be able to saturate 10Gbe links?

If you want a router, here you go

It looks interesting, however pic related is fucking retarded.

Why should they remove features from their off-the-shelf tablet chips?

>how the fuck would an ARM be able to saturate 10Gbe links?
Max theoretical throughput of SATA3 is 6Gb/s
Max theoretical throughput of 4 SATA3 drives in RAID5 is 3x6=18Gb/s

>Max theoretical throughput of SATA3 is 6Gb/s
>Max theoretical throughput of 4 SATA3 drives in RAID5 is 3x6=18Gb/s

thats great math there

maybe you can explain how an ARM chip would have enough processing power doing routing to saturate a 10GbE link?

To do 10GbE worth of routing, you're pretty much in Xeon territory.

I honestly don't know.
Care to link any sources backing up your statements?
