sorry about off topic, but i am impressed enough i wanted to share this info 
with others 
who may be looking.

a few yrs ago i was in discussions with several people from the list about 
small form 
factor computers for ntp use. i recently went with one package and am extremely 
impressed 
with it. it is currently running my pps strat1 server.

this little puppy is a 5.25 form factor computer that can fit in a drive slot, 
on the back 
of a monitor,  or on a shelf out of the way. i highly recommend it. i used a 
16gb SSD 
instead of 2.5in mechanical drive (installed freebsd from a usb stick) and it 
'just works' 
and appears to be very stable. it was supplied with all needed cables including 
a serial 
port cable.
