Car-PC Noah Case 3988B80 Noah Case 3988B80

The best case 90 euros can buy. It's not perfect but it works. In the inside the metal frames are quite sharp and it's easy to get scratched. I was able to fit easily a 3.5 sata drive (with an adapter power cable) and a via EPIA EN12000. The included fan is audible (I guess about 20dbA) in very low noise environment, probably it could be replaced with a low profile SilenX 80x80x15mm fan. Overall a nice buy.

Great fanless board. It's a "strange" board: not suitable for heavy desktop usage but has even too much horse power for a SOHO file/print/mp3 server. Anyway I use it as a linux server and the gigabit ethernet is a nice touch. Probabily it can be under-clocked but the additional power turned out precious in ffmpeg conversions and multitasking. Overall a great board.

I had the chance to test this board side by side with the via epia counterpart. I have to say that they are pretty much the same board, but the via en12000eg seems to have a more solid design. Power consumption is also similar, with the via board 1w less hungry. I'd say for desktop or casual use get a jetway, for server use get the via.

Good fan, not too noisy. Fit inside the m350 perfectly, both on top (over the pictured above support) or in the front of the case.

I was surprised to see that everything works out of the box on Ubuntu 10.10. No tricks no hacks needed. I was a bit worried about HDMI audio, and wireless, but they both work flawlessly on linux.
The board is pretty fast in one-task-at-a-time situations, but it starts to lag a bit on multitasking. I use it as a media center on a M350 case and it totally shines in this scenario.
The reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that fans speed cannot be regulated. They run always at full speed (included fan spins at 3000rpm and is very noisy). You need a third party controller if you want to use a fan. The board is given as "fanless", though.

The keyboard is small and pretty. Beware that it's hard to configure on linux. Consider that the original model/manufacturer seems to be Ortek PKB-1700, google it and you'll find how to recompile the hid modules for linux.

An essential add-on for your M350. Fit a second HDD or a couple of cooling fans.

Works as expected, but I should have probably bought the 2gb module. They are pretty inexpensive these times, and RAM is never enough :)
