A week or so ago I was thinking about making a Commodore 64 form factor computer with a custom keyboard. I think for projects like that (or even a small laptop), a Mini STX motherboard with an MxM video card would be ideal. As 3D printers get more accessible, I think many people will come up with some very cool projects around these small x86 computers.
I wonder if in the future Sapphire or other companies would make these available for DIY projects…
Would be cool to have you guys carry stuff like this
Did you try and use the onboard sata port and the nvme at the same time? since you could then use the m.2 to run a x4 pcie card with adapters
If you dont want to take as much of a risk upfront you could run a group buy and if you could get like X preorders you could cover some of the upfront and not have as much stock on had at the store
not necessarily, i could make a simple apache installation there with web admincp in php. Shouldn’t be too hard to make it. I could hijack with NAT traffic to certain url/ip.
I would be ok with just 2x 1gig or 2x 10gig for customer sale; and i definitely don’t need any other outputs except power.
but according to my past market research, it would need to be under $70 to sell good.
If i can’t get it under, well i’d just have to stop like i did in past (I sold 30 pfsense boxes with 1gig on custom boards from alibaba.)
Not saying you cant skip that, but would make it more usable for other things later and not limit the target audience as much. 1 HDMI port cant add to much to the BOM (would say DP but thats more expensive for sure)
