[Cialug] Low profile

[Patrick Mcgillan]

Well the eBay seller had a problem shipping in to the US through
customs and refunded my money on this item. I turned around and found
a Nexcom VTC 6110 computer on eBay out of Southern Florida for $80. A
2 yr old dual core with 2gb memory. Some guy had bought a used Semi
and this computer was mounted inside. Works great. I did swap out the
16gb SSD drive for a SATA 500GB drive and then loaded windows 7. If I
was closer, I would swap the SSD drive with Selinux loaded to
whomever.

It runs at 5V 4A (it needs extra current to support a powerful SoC/CPU and a couple of USB3.0 ports) and offers amazing performance for its size and heat dissipation.
