I pre-ordered x 2.

I think the 2GB RAM is going to make a massive difference to desktop
usage of this kind of machine.

When I get the cubietruck, I make a new brick computer case for that.

Designs for laser cut cases here for cubieboard with 2.5" hard disk to
make a handy brick size computer running Ubuntu 13.04 desktop Linux with
3D acceleration:

When I get the MEB2, I make a new brick computer case for the EOMA+MEB2.

When LCD is made working, I'll make another case with a flip top that
has the LCD embedded inside it so that it will look and function
exactly like a handy luggable cute brick computer.


The CN guys have found some PCMCIA but have been hit with a MOQ
of 500. I get the price and then decide. Still can't start MEB designs
until I got me some cheap PCMCIA that can be reliably sourced.
