<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I tried the Pico PSU80. Yes it works, however it
drops out under about 11.8 volts input, AND the 12Volts pass along directly to
the CPU regulator thru the 4 pin connector. Noise on the 12V, or too much 12V
input (voltage swing on input supply above some point) will kill the
motherboard. The -WI power supplies make the 12V as well as the 5V, much
tougher to kill. Next to try is the M3-ATX supply, works on 6-24 volts input,
much more forgiving.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>OK, I admit. Have not spent too much time with Mr Google on
this one, but here goes hoping for a short-cut
answer................<BR><BR>I would like to run each of my seven repeater
sites (mains/grid powered with 12v standby bat) each with it's own URI and
AllStar node. Some sites will have two URI's.<BR><BR><B>Question; <BR>What
PC should I use at each site (12v PC would be nice, and with "auto power on"
from dead battery when mains power returns)</B><BR><BR>I had a look here <A
class=ecxmoz-txt-link-freetext href="http://www.mini-itx.com/"
target=_blank>http://www.mini-itx.com/</A> but the amount of choice is
overwhelming. No idea which one is suitable.<BR>Then there is this thing
called a Beagle Board??<BR><BR><BR>The processor must be fast enough to
handle 2x URI's. I tried using a HP netbook and an Asus eeePC but
voice overs were a bit choppy as if the processor was battling.<BR>I do not
really want fans, hard drives or any other antiquated moving devices (when
are we going to see quiet, passive pc's at the workplace?)<BR>I do not need
wireless, just an Ethernet port.<BR><BR>Shaun<BR>zr5s<BR>Sysop for 7 ageing
