    Hey Benny!

    only problem with this is that pn50 is still under 65 watt,
    while above is over

    Says the guy who wants four 8k monitors. ;-)

    You are right though. The AC/DC brick it comes with can handle up to 90 watts. I am sure the 16 penguins are going to want their fair share when they require it. The same situation would exist on the pn50 if it would have supported the 4800u, which it doesn't.

    Given the target you specified, the additional wattage would be well spent methinks. As for 4 8k monitors I doubt that is doable (at this writing) no matter which system is to be deployed. 4 4k monitors, although I'd be happy with 1 ... I think ... 2 at most.

    most was limited to the connected cable to holland from danmark,
    while rest was no issue, funny problem :)

    You have a weird sense of humour.

    Life is good,
    Maurice

    Bought a couple of PN51 lately. Not rolled out into production yet,
    but looks like a very nice mini-workstation or microserver solution.

    will freebsd run well on them ?

    Havn't tried. Intended for use with MX.
