⚠️ News/Changes:

BoxyBSD will bring in a feature for more advanced users for our free boxes. Instead of only selecting a set of pre-defined BSD based images, you'll soon also be able to create your install simply from scratch with full remote access to your box. This lets you perform custom installations of #FreeBSD, #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #MidnightBSD but also of some other niche systems like #illumos

Unfortunately, this might still take some time and fully relies on the spare time of @gyptazy.

Okay, I left the working server for the night, while it was checking the newly connected HDD with Windows integrated utililty (don't know does it do something meaningful drgn_lol_nervous )

The device worked the whole night without the problems. At the end it was hot not warm, but I think this is because of some Windows processes which are doing some unknown shi^Wthings on the background drgn_sigh

Now, with attached 250 Gb HDD from the shelf, it is ready for #NetBSD , I hope drgn_stare_nervous

My future NetBSD server finally arrived drgn_happy_blep MWA-HA-HA drgn_scream !

Basically, it is just a part of POS terminal, so I can say that I run my services on the cash register.

But inside of it there is a fanless PC with a little motherboard and the top board with a 6 RS232 connectors, two USB connectors and a SATA for 2.5' hard drive.

4 Gb memory, Intel Atom N2800, 64 Gb SSD and free space for (another SSD?) WiFi card, integrated TWO (!) 1 Gbit Ethernet and much more USB, RS232 and VGA + HDMI connectors.

It works completely quiet, and just a slightly warming up when Window 7 is working.

After I change the CR2032 battery and find a M3x17 brass stand for PCB (one is missing drgn_flat_sob ) — I'll install #NetBSD on it and will enjoy #selfhosting , finally drgn_aww

The disassembled fanless PC with motherboard connected to the power source, to the display through the VGA and to the keyboard via the USB. The DDR3 memory is connected to the motherboard.
The red LED, indicating that system is powered, is lighting.

Back view of AviPos 320 Duo Mini PC. It has a black extruded aluminum profile in the form of a radiator, plastic plug in place for antenna connector, jack 3.5 mm for audio output, two LAN ports, VGA, HDMI, power connector ("DC 12V") and the four RS232 ports (COM1-COM4).
