[App_rpt-users] Mini ITX Choice -- warning!

[David McGough]

Hi,

Most Mini-ITX boards will work well with Linux but watch out for 
overheating chips, the South Bridge / VGA controller, in particular. Many 
of these boards don't have a heatsink on the South Bridge and will burn up 
(or lock up!) in short order in an already hot repeater cabinet.

At least the solution is simple! Attach a small adhesive-backed heatsink 
to the hot chips and this problem is usually eliminated. Ebay sells a big 
selection of these heatsinks.
