Hello All,
I am looking for a small platform about the size of an Intel NUC. There are a few competitors to the NUC out on the market now and I was wondering if anyone has any experience with any of these small form factor systems?
I want a small dedicated FreeBSD workstation that is low power and small enough to bolt to the back of my display, or not much bigger than that. I am looking for low power consumption and decent X acceleration. I usually run current or 10-stable. So I was thinking the Intel KMS drivers might be a good fit for something with the power of an Intel core i3. I am open to non x86/AMD64 architectures such as ARM, but I have not found an ARM setup that is reasonably supported with non proprietary SOC components that also provides core i3 level performance, which is why the Raspberry Pi is ruled out.
