I saw this 4*Ethernet Lan Mini PC Idustrial Routers J1900 Quad Core pfSense Celeron desktop computer 2.0Ghz windows10 Vga USB RJ45 Com (bare bone) US $112.00 + Free S/H. I don't know if it is a good deal or not, but thought you may like it. Personally, I would prefer a version with an HDMI port + USB3 (not USB2) ports if there would be one.by habibie - Off-Topic

Joey, A bit off topic if you don't mind. What do you think to make your own heatsink using the evaporate and/or condenser tubes found in an air conditioner unit?by habibie - Off-Topic
Joey, thank you for your quick response. I suppose this card is useless (I meant to my needs).by habibie - Off-Topic

AFAICT, any USBx storage is good for a rootfs and is not rather good for a data storage. A rootfs is basically a RO storage while a data storage is RW. The more writes, the more a USBx storage gets worn out. If I had a fast throughput USBx storage, I certainly would prefer to use it as a rootfs.by habibie - Off-Topic
