Operating Temperature with SSD

First off - WOW! This is great! I now have two applications that can be met with the Fit-PC2i. However, I noticed that the operating temperature of the PC with an SSD is <up to> 70 deg C. That's 158 deg F! Isn't that a bit on the warm side? I'd hate to have to jury rig a cooling system on such a nea...

Re: Wish list: S/PDIF

I will second (third, fourth... you get the idea) the wish list item for S/PDIF. This would make the Fit-PC(#) a great HTPC.

Re: 24x7 weather computer

I just found the fit-pc 2 owner's manual. It looks like a 2.5" drive just "slides in" to the PC? Is it fair to assume that a standard SATA 2 2.5" drive has the connectors in the right place? I was expecting to need to cable up the power & data connections. Needless to say, I have never dealt with SA...

Re: 24x7 weather computer

I just found your previous post on the headless operation issue. You are correct. Once I build the PC and install the app, the only connections to the box will be power. I will use RDP for any management. The wireless interface should be sufficient for the weather data upload. Here's the data upload...

Re: 24x7 weather computer

Is there installation documentation other than the release notes? I see there are two different graphics adapter updates. The pecs on the web page indicate the fit-PC 2 uses a GMA500 adapter, so I assume I would use that one.

How about a generic installation guide?

Re: 24x7 weather computer

Great! I have bookmarked that link.

So you're saying Windows XP will install fine from the original CD. Then all I have to do is to add/update the drivers from that link.
