Intel D2700DC (Intel Atom 2x 2.13Ghz CPU, HDMI) [FANLESS] | |

Best non-compromise solution for a variety of embedded solution. Based on this board, I built a kitchen PC - internet radio, youtube, cook-books for my wife, local movies and music, etc. Additional modules used: wifi+bluetooth miniPCI-e adapter, 4Gb DDR3 1066MHz memory bank, 240Gb SSD, wireless keyboard, IR PC remote control, small (185x200x60 cm) metal mini-ITX case + 18.5'' monitor. Together with SSD the system is completely silent, no moving parts, boots very fast: 5-6 sec. for booting BIOS + 6-8 sec. for ArchLinux with LXDE, overall less than 13 sec. from pressing the power button to the completely working environment. WiFi connection is a bit slower - completely working after ~30 seconds after the pressing the power button, but this is still a very good performance. The system is capable of HD 720p playback (I didn't tested 1080p), so no problems with watching hi-quality movies or Internet streams. No problems with cooling so far - the radiator can be touched by hand, the temperature approximately 40-60 degrees, depending on the load. Probably in future after a kitchen test-drive I will put it (or buy a new one, exactly the same) to my car. |
