I ended up getting an Intel Gen 10 NUC with an i5 that matched the System76 spec. I could source it at NewEgg.com for about $325 cheaper that what System76 wanted for it. Also, the forums seem to basically say the Meerkat (rev 5) is basically identitical to what I have with a branded case cover.ããI've just gotten my desk reconfigured for it and my other systems. Tomorrow I'm going through the OS on it =)ãã-WitNikãã---ã þ Synchronet þ * Origin: Beggar's Canyon - beggarscyn.com *ã
