So i asked the person selling these on ebay where he got them from. They were in a product called KnCMiner a bitcoin mining computer they had the connectors stripped off so they could stack them tight it was just a cheap processor with ethernet to them. they are available now because the company went bankrupt in may of this year.
he has 7 of them with all the connectors on them still i suppose if you want a cheap BBB to mess with its cool he has a 2 week return so no loss if they are defective. Me i would prefer to just stick with the newer ones.
