I mentioned it upthread and I don't want to look like I'm shilling but ... the Orange Pi zero board has 256M or 512M of ram, 4 cores, ethernet, wifi and all sorts of other stuff, for about $10. You have to provide storage though, and while it does have a graphics capability you need an expansion board (another $2) to use it.

The Orange Pi looks good, but it's a shame they have non-standard POE which seems to require weird hacks to make it work (https://parglescouk.wordpress.com/2017/04/14/getting-the-ora...). Having a single wire to each board would be very compelling if it could be more standard.

Are those solder bridges directly connected to the Ethernet Jack? If so it would be much easier to just hook the 48V -> 5V step down converter there to avoid having to prepare a special Ethernet cable.

Yeah, must admit I didn't try the PoE, I've just used it with power to the MicroUSB. It is indeed a shame.

Thanks, this does indeed look compelling. The onboard ethernet, wifi antenna connector, and a regular-sized USB are all pluses too.
