Hi Irads
Well, as I see it, this wishlist configuration could be seen as the fit-pc2i with the following extras:
- IR receiver
- That broadcom thingie
- DVD/Bluray drive
and minus:
- 1 Gigabit ethernet port
- Serial port
I assume that the IR receiver instead of the Serial port doesn't add any net cost. As I understood from an earlier post from you, each Gigabit ethernet port takes up a mini-PCIe slot, so I assume that there's 1 mini-PCIe ethernet card less in such a system. Not sure how much that would reduce the cost.
That Broadcom card is sold for around $69 retail, wholesale would be lower of course (apparently they go "as new" on eBay for around $20).
A slim internal DVD burner seems to go for around $50 retail. I can't find any quote for a bluray right now
The case will have to be bigger, so that adds cost. I understand that there's no eSATA in poulsbo, so drop that. Replacing the second ethernet port with extra USB ports would be nice.
Adding all that up (assuming a DVD drive):
fit-pc2i + $50 DVD drive + $20 Broadcom + $10(?) case
If I'm way off here, feel free to correct me though!
ps. some people might suggest using the ION platform, but it seems that platform has significantly higher power consumption than the fit-pc...
