| == Target Hardware == * Plug Computer 3.0 * 2.0 Ghz ARMv5 CPU (Marvell Kirkwood 88F6281) * 512 MB Nand Flash * Integrated Marvell WiFi and Bluetooth, both work in accesspoint mode or client mode. * Replaceable 120 GB Internal 1.8 esata drive or 160 GB, 2.5 esata drive (depending on the Vendor). The 2.5 drive is most economical and replaceable without any additional tools. * Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 |
## NB! ## Please keep list vertically aligned to ease maintenance ## - e.g. avoid adding links to board names in 1st row |

Legend:
Case not included but is offered separately from same vendor.
Promising
Upcoming devices looking promising, but not yet available for general sale.
Unsuitable
Odroid before U3 models: Too powerful (requires noisy fan or too expensive to ship heatsink)
Raspberry Pi: Requires non-free blob to boot (and pretty weak when using Debian - Raspbian is not Debian)
Devices too expensive not listed here (that'd be a looong list).
