Here's a refurbed Dell Optiplex 745. "slim" it says--looks like it would fit under a bed, and the picture shows what looks like a serial port--also a parallel port, all kinds of usb ports, a network connection, and it goes for $135. A full computer, not some kluge that you have to add all kinds of accessories to to make it useful.
cubieboard is usefull from the beginning. You get usb, ethernet, hdmi, sata out of the box. Now compare power usage of those 2 devices running 24/7 :) I'm sure there are other ARM board that match with requirements (can run Linux and supports rs232). -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik openSUSE Community Member GPG: 5FCE 7241 B3B9 32FD 455B C30E 42D6 6C88 9E83 7C3D
