I have been working, for the past few years, with armv7 SOCs and have a number of servers working. Intel, etal are catching up with ARM and I have seen ones like: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW-Mini-pc-X86-4-Lan-Qotom-Q190G4N-with-celeron-J1900-quad-core-4-usb-VGA/32785346279.html I am looking for a low power (this is 10W) x86_64 board that has at least 2 core and 2GB memory. A single LAN port, a few USB and sata (not mSata) that supports a 1TB drive (2.5", 5V is just fine). Oh, and for ~$100 :) Case is not necessary, as I can put it in my rack like these: http://medon.htt-consult.com/~rgm/cubieboard/cubietower-3.JPG (goal is to replace that SFF to the left). It looks like Qotom might have one. It is a bit challenging to figure out which units have what. thanks for any pointers.

I currently use, between my xDSL box and my LAN machines, an ATX-format box running a pretty old GNU/Linux system with a Jay's Firewall setup but I'd like to replace it w/ a fanless small barebone like the Zotac CI327: minimum hardware and cost but it has 2 LAN connectors - that's my point for rooting at home: WAN <-> xDSL modem <-> rooter-linux-box <-> LAN <-> local machines.

Hi, I have this and happy with it, I believe it ticks all your boxes (+ built-in IR port). http://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/nuc/nuc-kit-dn2820fykh.html -- Sent from the Delta quadrant using Borg technology!

Thanks, Nux!. But a few hours late. I just purchased: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ZOTAC-ZBOX-NANO-Plus-Mini-PC-ZBOXNANO-AD12-PLUS-2GB-320GB-with-Power-Supply-56/382042194064?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D41376%26meid%3Deae770f22d504a9b8366eb0c02dd20d6%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D7%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D152356229748 Zotac has been in the mini/nano PC business for a number of years, and this is a good price for the AD12. I will probably swap the 320Gb drive out for my 1Tb drive, but as the unit comes with eSATA, I have to decide to perhaps get an eSATA adapter for the 1TB or what. My backup drive is USB, but I have had some I/O problems with it (my earlier post), so I may switch my backup drive to eSATA. I will post power and other numbers here when I get the unit.

If it had two (or more) network ports, I'd be all over it. A single gigabit nic is a bit limiting for me.
