Can we get more pictures of the inside of the device, with and without the IDE flash drive installed?

Hey John,

You've got a winner with the Nano. I live in Sacramento so I would love to drive down and check it out. Possible? I'll buy one on the spot if the performance is reasonable. Got one for me?

Thanks,

What's the input power? Am I really the only person in the known universe interested in running fanless mini/nano-Itx in an industrial enviornment where 24V DC (+/-) is the absolute standard?

Currently, I have a solution by cramming one of the 24V automotive power supplies into a fanless box, but the solution is huge (relatively). This box would be magnificent, the right size, fanless, powerful (800MHz is plenty for most of the applications we ever run), but I bet it's 12V and not 24V. So close, and yet so far...

A solid state DC-DC converter should work fine and have a small footprint as well.

If you can suggest something that will fit in the box, I'd love to hear it (I've been searching).

An external DC/DC is an option, but that blows the whole packaging concept. "Here's a really well packaged industrial computer and by the way you need this ugly power supply that you have to mount externally to make it work". It wouldn't be well received, and it marks the product as not really industrial. Industrial customers expect 24V input, it's what they've got and what they know. (a 24V/12V DIN Rail mount DC/DC is also about $100, that's not the most important factor, but it does hurt).
