Shawn Shawn Administrator Registered: 1999-08-13 Posts: 8611	Since everyone seems to be admitting to asking dumb questions tonight ... what the heck are these Nano-itx boards anyways - never heard of them. Is it just that they're super small (they dont seem to be super-fast) ... what kind of chipset they have ? Are they meant to run some kind of *nix OS ? -Shawn

Björn Björn Korg Regular Registered: 2005-12-07 Posts: 953 Loc: Stockholm, Sweden.	dunno if it's a stupid question or not... but it's not monsters. They do run fine on win as well as linux, these boards are made by via, and therefore got their cpu's and north/southbrigdes. video comes for some boards from s3 what I know of. _________________________ as long as it works - why fix it?

Björn Björn Korg Regular Registered: 2005-12-07 Posts: 953 Loc: Stockholm, Sweden.	that's what I use my mini-itx board for ^^; there are boards with dual lan-controllers tho, perfect for running as routers etc etc =) _________________________ as long as it works - why fix it?

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	it's nice to know that quantum physics are mysterious stuff. but having a quantum computer... well. jens can keep on dreaming. I don't see this stuff in practise before the year 2102. what comes to these via boards, exactly. their usage is so limited. they are basically consumer targeted industru computers. but instead of intel stuff inside they are based on via stuff. if you have lack of room, fine. but my htpc's will still be running on old AT cases. call me old fashioned, if you wish. and routers, mail servers, proxy and all other servers I can make out of my old pentium and pentium 2 dinosauric relics. and all those will cost me is the time to put the freebsd install cd in... and maybe some more... _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Björn Björn Korg Regular Registered: 2005-12-07 Posts: 953 Loc: Stockholm, Sweden.	Yes, dreaming is nice, and I hope Jens do keep on dreaming for us all so we will all end up with quantum-puters The only reason to get a board like this is when your tight on space. AND wish to have something that doesn't consume that much power. I do hope that you use atx-cases for your htpc's - otherwise you're more brave then I will ever be My only reason for investing in a mini-itx board was that I didn't like wasting so much space as my other computer did, and I found a old NES, butchered it and crammed the itx-board into it. I know, the price versus functionallity is... I run all my other things on older machines, they don't consume that much power, doesn't warm up the room to much, and since I have all that kind of stuff in a 19" rack - I don't need to save that much space.. (only fuses when I'm stupid enough to connect the vacuumer to the same fuse as ... yeah.. poff ) _________________________ as long as it works - why fix it? If it doesn't work - kix-it!

Mart Mart KiX Supporter Registered: 2002-03-27 Posts: 4673 Loc: The Netherlands	In shops they ca be used under the counters. Usually there is not much space there and they do not need to be super fast. I would not buy one cause I personally do not like these ultra small pc's. _________________________ Mart - Chuck Norris once sold ebay to ebay on ebay.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	the idea of small is nice. near passive cooling (read, really silent system) is nice too. but if it means loosing huge amounts of computing power, well... I can buy an XBox then, right? _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Björn Björn Korg Regular Registered: 2005-12-07 Posts: 953 Loc: Stockholm, Sweden.	I truly dislikes xbox. But yeah, xbox should do the job as well. And there is plenty of fanless itx-boards out there for silent operation. (You've got a bonus with a xbox, you can play games adapted to your plattform and sysconf ) _________________________ as long as it works - why fix it? If it doesn't work - kix-it!
