I read a review of this today, and found my self looking to buy one. I have every other part requited already, so I could have a full PC for $113

I am just looking for anyone with one of these to share their experiences, what hardware they are using, and what OS, among whatever else you would like to share.

One part I am undecided about is the case, I was looking at this because it is pretty cheap, and looks alright to me. I have found a few other cases, but they are either over twice as much (but look a whole lot better) or are even smaller, requiring them to use a laptop optical drive, which I am not interested in buying when I have extra optical drives sitting around already. What do you recommend for a case?

What I am looking to do on this, is just use it as a second computer for whatever, toying with Linux, maybe an MP3 server for my house, or a print server perhaps? Or simply installing software I'd rather not have cluttering up my main box.

Comments?

Helpful links?

Oh, another thing, anyone know when the EPIA M-Series will be out?

Thanks.

My Eden's great (barring the LAN port issue with the Cubid....).  The CPU fan isn't too bad at all - it's currently being drowned out by an old hard drive that I'm using with it

Yeah with my eden project (parts of it can be seen over on Kustompcs) I was thinking the damn thing wasn't working until I opened my case and took a look, its that quiet.

Cause when I went to pop the case lid back on and the brown wire came loose from the junction block and made contact with the auminium case, it didn't do me much good. 230 Volts hurts - but amazingly the Epia survived. Bomb Proof I think - lol.

Yah, I read that review you posted pav.

Can the HSF be removed to add larger one that could be fanless?

And again, anyone know when the EPIA M will be out?

ninefivezero, did you read my review on the B860T?  You can run a C3-933 fanless on that.

I just read it, looks very interesting. It it for sale yet? Because I didn't see it on Pricewatch, nor can I find it with Google.

You can buy it in UK/Europe....

Someone mentioned that the MiniQ barebones are coming in to stock at NewEgg if that helps.
