@cowboysdude
I just updated the summary post, could you please check, if there is everything correct?!

   Operating System Support:

    Windows 10*
    Windows 8.1*
    Windows 7
    64-bit supported only

Under that I would also put Linux… I’m running Unbuntu on the machine currently which makes it much easier to run MM :)

I would, and will at some point, use one of these in place of the SSD… to further compact things…

More than likely will be designed to attached to the wall of the cabinet and not in a case…

Thank you. Yes i looked at cases but none were slim/small enough. Look forward to your snaps to see how yours look set up. What power source did you use?

[cowboysdude]

@Damian I am using a laptop power supply :)

I just found this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/librecomputer/libre-computer-board-next-gen-4k-sbc-dev-board-for/description
It may be an alternative. :)

[SvenSommer]

@Snille Yes, very interesting. I liked the idea of comparing the boards with Geekbench. Maybe this is a measurable unit to compare.
@cowboysdude Are you willing to run such a Geekbench on your system?

Somebody backed this and is going to get a one?

[cowboysdude]

I think that’s awesome. IF it has more power, and it seems these boards are getting more powerful all the time, that’s a good thing!

[Snille]

@SvenSommer Yes, I’m backing it. :) I’m going (if it works) to replace my Pi3 with it. :)

[cowboysdude]

@Snille I would but right now I have so much going on that backing anything else would be counter productive.

I’m backing a Thermostat right now… and that’s keeping my butt busy :)
