LandRaider motherboard purchased

I just went on a shopping spree at mini-box.com



Thier prices were excellent, and the response to my questions were super fast.

I purchased a VIA EPIA MII 10000 a 200W DC to DC converter to power it and some other goodies. I got a Compact Flash to IDE converter that will be a sweet power saver, but I don't have a CF card big enough to hold an OS yet, that will come later.
I was going to get one of the TC versions of the Epia boards that come with a built in DC-DC converter but they were under featured it seemed.

This board has a built in CF and PC card slot, and everything else you would expect to see in a full featured motherboard (USB, Vid, LAN, Sound, FireWire, etc) it only has one Ram slot and one PCI expansion slot, but I probably wont even need that. I'll use the PC card slot for the 802.11 card.

It also has TV out and LCD out options that I might use one day, but in general I wont need video unless I'm working on the board outside the LandRaider.
