>>101217213>just bought one of thesewhy?
>dual-core >AMD FUCKING JAGUARi mean it's 14 euros but shit dude id rather get a core 2 duo box off the street even if it uses more energy
>ohne NetzteilNo PSU, good luck finding one compatible that also doesn't begin at around 10x what you paid for that.
>>101217213Will it blend, man?
>>101217249Need>x68-64>debian>desktop GUI>network>somewhat smooth VNC with above setup>one self-written X11 monitoring program connected via USB to a microcontrollerNeed to bring a device on the net, preferably with Debian.A RasPi is maybe the natural choice, but these are actually cheaper and more abundant, and more eco-friendly, despite their higher power usage, because the machine by the microcontroller operates in the kW range, so fucking about because of 20W would be solely masturbatory.That being said, these things are maybe great as seedboxes/-external-HDD-NAS-servers.Or routers running OpenWRT.Lots of shit, actually.It's funny, so many people think the usefulness of a PC correlates with its processing power, like a linear function, but it's more a parabel, and their usefulness reverse increases with LESS processing power sometimes as well.
>>101217273looks pretty standard
>>101217273The current power supply of the "machine."The device needs 19V/3A, which should work with one of those LM2577/XL6009 modules with a heatsink, which I always have readily available, but otherwise cost two-to-three dollars and if you're working on an installation, you actually prefer to work it this way.
>>101217213Install emulatorsgo to redit and tell everybody how you used an old computer case to put an Rpi inside and now you have resurrected a dead PC
>>10121739219V, like virtually all laptop chargers (some geniuses use 12V or up to 22V, Dell I think used to do that).The connector might be an issue, but I have a laptop from Acer from 2010 and an LCD from Samsung from 2011, and both operate with 19V and have the same connector and ballpark wattage, I can interchangably use their charging devices and I do, too.
>>101217350I use a similar machine for a Jellyfin server. They're more capable than they look.
>>1012172132GB is probably sufficient for a lightweight linux distro like Alpine. I wouldn't install even Windows 7 on it.
>>101217303Honestly, the color scheme is a pretty tight fit to the Xilence PSU's color scheme in picrel >>101217438.It's some cheapo 400W PSU from about six five years ago, I need about 10-16A 12V, 1A 5V and having 3.3V available as well is a nice-to-have.I'm going to open her up again and solder the wires on permanently as well as source the wall power from there to the machine once everything is functionally working and can be positionally finalized.Those "(Wago) Dosenklemmen" are a must-have as an electrician if you ask me, but the convenience of leaving a provisory solution is always a tempting (but expensive!) one if you do.>>101217700I think I have DDR3 SODIMMs lying around somewhere.That being said, my 16GB desktop PC running LMDE 6 uses >1.3G after boot, which would just about cut it.
>>101217213I will be honest with you anon, that machine is very slow. I have a similar HP thinclient with a bit slower CPU and let me tell you, a core 2 duo mobile is faster.It barely runs a GBA emulator.For shitposting here and a simple NAS/seedbox, it's good enough.
>>101217213this is too much info for something that costs 14$
I use one as my opnsense router/firewall/dns. somewhat capable machine.
>>101218660Good enough for opnsense?
>>101217213Try to fit it into your ass. I will wait here for the results.
>>101219058HAHAHAHAHAWAIT UNTIL YOUPCI SLOT INSIDELOOLLL
>>101218660>It barely runs a GBA emulator.That's fine, it need only run something like a GBC emulator.You didn't specify what OS you were using, though.If it starts with "Shit-" and ends with "-dows," your experiences are irrelevant.>>101218945The exact same model?Can you confirm that the (base?) motherboard does indeed have a SATA connector?Not looking forward to having to source an mSATA or setup an actual thin-client server...
>>101217213>AMD GX-217GAThose amd cpus are fucking awful. Its good enough for a samba server and remote desktop(not low latency game streaming) but i still hate them. Bought a similar one with a 4 core cpu and it struggled with fucking 720p. I also didn't want to use it as a server due to high idle power consumption >10w.Recently i got this for 37$. It has a dual core 1st gen ryzen, 4gb ram and 8gb soldered ssd with no easy way to expand internally. Ssd connected via usb works fine tho. With more ram it could easily be used as a main pc.https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+GX-217GA+SOC&id=2138https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+Embedded+R1505G&id=3486
>>101219528The D3313-F13 GS1 board (the one posted in the op) should have two ethernet ports (and also a pcie slot)
>>101220164>Retro gamingDefinitely doable, you don't need much.>Using windows on that thingNo, I use Debian + LXDE with 8gb of ram and an upgraded 256 SSD M2 SATA. Again: for lightweight purposes like torrenting, a small cloud/NAS, they are good enough. Their main strength is their very low power consumption, around 8-10w max power drawn.
>>101217213CPU sucks even for that price. get the intel brother from that period
>>101221233>D3313-F13 GS1Ah, I'm such a retard, I didn't think to try to search for the motherboard type number, I can indeed confirm it has one SATA port.I once jerryrigged an HP desktop into a generic case, no manual for that (and where to put PWR/RST/LED/HDD from case), that I kinda gave up the idea an OEM might actually have a manual for a subcomponent of their product.>>101221235>Retro gamingYeah, less than that, that's just as a comparison.1 FPS diagram drawing, 1 Sample/second measurement.Peanuts, I really need the PC for its infrastructure (LAN+USB) and x86-compatibility (virtually entire spectrum of Linux software available).Oh, and webcam streaming, which will be the most demanding task, albeit I need only 1 FPS as well.'s all good, frens.
