I just ordered mine. :-) It arrived last week, I installed it in a standard ATX Midi- tower, plugged a DDR DIMM and a hard disk to it, and it ran flawlessly out of the box. Every single on-board component is supported by FreeBSD. :) It has survived several buildworlds and network activity without any problems. It's now running today's 6.0-BETA5.

Now I can answer my question myself: The buildworld of 6.0-BETA5 takes 1 hour 50 minutes (I excluded Kerberos and a few other small parts, though). > PS: An related question (although off-topic here): > I assume a Mini-ITX board fits into a standard ATX Midi- > tower without problems, right?
