Hardware [HELP] I'm looking to buy a portable web server that use the Intel atom processors.

The Panda can run Linux tho main support is for Windows :/ Main issue I have had with Linux on the Panda is driver issues

That's the problem most people have with Linux

It is quite a nice little machine. Actually in the middle of restoring windows for it at the moment, the board's major problem is heat dissipation the stock heat shield is wholly inadequate. Even under a moderate workload i.e. watching a 1080p youtube video will force the temps up to about 80 degrees and then it will seriously throttle back the CPU. Adding a good heatsink helps but increases the formfactor

Stupid question, is it not possible to add thermal paste to it?

 

[Uiaad]

Not a stupid question at all, but sadly with the stock heat shield its designed for use with a thermal pad so there is a couple of mm clearance between the shield and the processor. I did at one point experiment with a Peltier cooler and heatsink setup but that didn't yield much lower temps than just a heat sink and small fan and used more power than the traditional setup too

I like that but I don't understand why they don't let the buyer choose the power cable/power outlet before buying the starter kit.

The included plug will work in the UK, EU, USA & AUS.

From what I can find on Google in Honduras you use the same type of plug as the USA, so it's a not issue for you.

The Pi can be powered from a mobile phone charger, or a USB port on another device anyway.

I decided to go for the pi, and now i'm going to try and teach myself how to create my own website.

[use?]
I plan on hosting a website with some pictures, perhaps some audio, and contact information.

[budget?]
One thousand dollars or less.

[nuc?]
The compute stick is not worthy of being any kind of server with those specs. But the nuc might just do it for me.

Well, that throws out my suggestion

What about a used mac mini? A decent tablet would let you monitor the server...

do any of these catch your eye?
