They make really nice x86 boards with AMD chips.
- scalaris373 9y ago+1 for PC Engines. Their products are a bit expensive for the hobbyist, and generally use very outdated technology, but they are as reliable as they come. I've been using an Alix 6f2 with a Mini-PciE 3g modem on a remote location with years of uptime and no problems. Same can't be said of many newer, fancier boards!
- PhantomGremlin 9y agoTo me the products are different. The Dell is a complete computer in a box. Contrast to PC engines, which sell a collection of parts. A motherboard, a case, an AC adapter. Etc. Oh, and btw careful how you mount the motherboard. I.e.: Conductive cooling from the CPU to the enclosure through a 3 mm alu heat spreader. Please contact us for advice if you want to integrate this board in your own enclosure. Not that the PC Engines stuff is bad; it's just that I usually prefer to have the manufacturer screw things together and then test the final product.
