        I'm going to use the board Jetway NF9HG-2930. If I need HDMI output in future, I'll buy a PCI-HDMI card.

        So, my list is:

        • Jetway NF9HG-2930 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XNR4HE2/

        • 2 x 4GB Crucial SO-Dimm DDR3 1.35V

        • 1 x SSD mSATA 60GB aprox.

        • AC-DC adapter 12V 5A 60W

        • m350 case

        I'm going to order everything in Spain. But I can't find the jetway NF9HG-2930 here. Do you know some website with free/cheap shipment?

        am I missing something?.

        Thanks.

          1 x 8GB Crucial SO-Dimm DDR3 1.35V [52€]

          If would be prefer to use 2 x 4 GB because 8 GB is the maximum so both RAM slot get filled.

            That jetway board does not have an ATX power connector so you don't need a pico psu. Get the 60w power brick with 5mm/2.5mm barrel connector and you plug it directly into the rear I/O connector.

                Finally I ordered the jetway, case m350 and power supply to Logic Supply. Products + shipping 300€.

                CarTFT and MiniPC have the jetway sold out.

                I will buy the SSD and RAM in Spain.

                SO, thank you guys!!. Now, I have to wait, and after mount the hardware it will be time for the real fight: setup firewall, ids, ap…

                Thanks!

                      Why? He is just using it as an access point? - unnecessary complication

                        For sure Good question at all, perhaps you see it from a different side and owns another
                        point of view. But if I can get DD-WRT on a device I would be even prefer this compared
                        to the original firmware of the most WiFi routers and/or WiFi APs, related to the rich number
                        of functions, the given options and the rich feature set, my point of view.

                          Both DD-WRT or OpenWRT allow usage of VLANs which may be very useful. Factory firmare doesn't.

                            I have everything setup and running. 61ºC is the normal temperature, I'll post some statistics when I have time ;)

                            Thanks.
