Hi all,

I had my EPIA Mini-ITX running exactly one year ago. I permanently mounted it 
in my sailboat last June. The XYL and I did a test run first from Tampa Bay 
to Dry Tortugas, anchoring overnight and playing a movie in the installed DVD 
player! FANTASTIC

I agree with everything Gerry says it is a great tough mobile PC. Keep in 
mind it is in a salt water environment and unless we go out for a sail it only 
gets turned on for a couple of hours once a week during maintenance.
