[SGVLUG] Idea for New PC

[Arthur Baldwin]

This is not spam and there is a very good reason for calling it a "brick".  I have attended the SGVLUG meetings, although not very regularly, it's a long drive from Rancho Cucamonga.  Here is the "pasted version" that some of you prefer:

JCBrick
 
·        Core 2 Duo Processor with at least 800 MHz FSB (Ultra low power laptop type CPU soldered on board with fan-less heatsink)
 
·        Must have 2 or more Gigabyte LAN ports
 
·        Must have optional power supply designs for either car operation or home operation.
 
·        All chips must be reliably soldered onto motherboard – no sockets.
 
·        Must have two high speed solid state “disk drives” using “thumb drive chips” (one 16 GB and one 8 GB minimum) soldered onto motherboard with no USB conversion stages to slow down data transfer.  (drive letters C and D).
 
·        Must be able to boot from any USB 2.0 port (need at least 4 ports), a PXE device (LAN), or either of the two solid state drives onboard.
 
·        Must have 4 GB high speed RAM in two standard slots.
 
·        Must NOT have any Keyboard, Mouse, standard serial, parallel, FDD, SATA, or IDE interfaces
 
·        Needs to have MIDI – IN and MIDI – OUT ports
 
·        Must have high quality onboard Audio and Video (with hardware 3D Acceleration - prefer ATI)
 
·        Must have built in IR transceiver device that is exposed on front panel
 
·        Unit must be as small as possible
 
·        Unit should not have any expansion slots of any kind
 
 

Applications include:
 
·        Media Center Controller for multiple component Home Entertainment Centers
·        Home Control Systems
·        Recording Studio Control Systems
·        Automotive Media Centers 
·        Vehicle Control Systems
·        Family Internet Sharing Control/Filtering/Monitoring Systems
 
Target Wholesale Cost
 
Less than $300 each in quantities over 1000 with 4 GB RAM included and with metal box enclosure (fanless heatsink).
