If you want to be compact you get those 12V PSes. They will cost you $129. Or get cheap PC power supplies for $20 each. But then it is a space hog. There are no good choices. You can save lotsa money but then you don't get something small. I have found small boxes for (believe it or not!) $12 with PS included that you could put the EPIA in. but they are ... ugly and big. > and how easy or how tough is it to get the first kernel loaded? i think > once i build and load the kernel, i can proceed from there. if someone can > help me, please let me know. once i know the parts, i can order them.
