Just picked up this Asus Q301LA yesterday. It's nice to have a new computer coming from the early 2006 Mac mini I had before! Here's my current setup. Saving for a nice 27" monitor as we speak. :)

Hehe I still have my old G4 Mac Mini running Ubuntu. But I hardly use it, nice desk.

Either that or some kind of insurance office.. 

 

But I could be wrong... it could be something else such as accounting office.

 

could be anything that includes those kinds of books/binders/folders which mentioned in the photo.

Miniaturized recently.

 

Fractal Design Node 304

i5 3570K @ 4.2ghz with Coolermaster TX3

XFX Radeon 7870 Double-D

MSI Z77IA-E53 motherboard

8GB DDR3

Vertex 4 128GB + Kingston V+100 96GB SSDs

WD Caviar Black 1TB + WD Caviar Green 2TB

Seasonic X650 full modular

 

Took some effort to make it work (it's a tight fit with the PSU, had to remove the bracket to move it closer to the back of the case for it to fit with the long graphics card). The cooler barely fit, good thing my SATA/power connectors on the drives are angled. Temps are pretty good considering how quiet the rig is. No regrets, it's awesome to have such a small PC.

    • Because of the EU (a good thing) newer android devices been getting 5 years worth of security patches. Except some Motorola which found the loop hole, and offer ZERO updates. In addition, Google for years have been making where it can patch some stuff by updating the core Google Play Store itself.  As echoed earlier,  you take the security risk in to your own hand beyond supported.
