[Server-devel] Cubox Solidrun Prototype Packaging

[Jon Nettleton]

A quick look on NewEgg and this looks just about perfect.

1 5volt 2.1 amp output for the cubox-i and then a second 1amp 5volt output
for the drive.

Or for super large

That is a 15000mAh battery.

That means that we can run at 2 amps for about 7.5 hours on battery.  Not
too bad.
