• Headless home server on a MK809III

  written on May 24, 2014

  After my raspberry pi went down under the load of OwnCloud and some other applications, I decided to find a more powerful replacement for it.

This HW seemed just brilliant for my headless home server, specially with a price of 35 Euros!
