<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi, George<br>
<br>
OLE Nepal is using MSI pre-configured purchased through a local
distributor. I have not seen the box they are using <br>
at Amazon or Newegg. It is essentially the same as the other MSI
Nettops, except in a smaller form factor and taking <br>
only 2.5" notebook drives.<br>
<br>
The one you linked to is the one I am using. So far the two I have
purchased have worked well; however, the second <br>
one has trouble with the two usb 3 ports (at 1TB, usb 2 takes 12+
hours to copy!).<br>
<br>
The Corsair memory has a better price, but Crucial may be your
preference. Make sure you get DDR3 notebook memory (not desktop -
they are not interchangeable).<br>
<br>
I have had good luck with the Western Digital Blue 2.5in 1TB drive
($75.25 at Amazon).<br>
<br>
So the budget would be: <br>
<br>
Zotac ZBox 192.99<br>
Crucial 2x2GB 46.99<br>
WD 1TB 75.25<br>
Total 315.23<br>

<div>Can you send me a link to the hardware that is being

<div>I thought 4 GB memory and a 1 TB drive might be
needed. But we have about $400 budgeted and someone
measured the power draw as about 25 watt.</div>

</div>
<div>Not as efficient as ARM, but ARM isn't really ready
for prime time yet, unless the cubox materializes
quickly enough.</div>
