I have the D201GLY. My only gripe with the board so far is that it takes 10 seconds or longer just to get past the Intel splash screen. Other than that it's been running great about 4 months now. Do the newer versions boot up any faster?

Hello Everyone.
I have a couple D201GLY2's for use in various situations, NAS and also as a CarPC. I figured out how to undervolt the D201GLY2 to 1.1volts vs the 1.35 volts, which makes it run a lot cooler.
I also have done some mods to the heatsink. You can check out my results here:

Hope this helps some people out.

will this fit in a VoomPC2?

Yes, I am currently building one with the VoomPC-2 as I type and it fits perfectly.

Does this quality as a cross post? I hope not. I thought you littlevalley lovers might like this new accessory:

For those interested in using the D201GLY2 with a smaller heatsink, i have one in action right now with a custom case that takes advantage of the lower profile heatsink.

with a low airflow Enermax 80mm fan off of newegg NEAR it, i have it running at a steady 45 degrees. the heatsink is about 2/3 the size of the original one, its a northbridge heatsink of of a dead Asus a7n266 board.

I am trying to create a solid state pc for data gathering. Has anyone had any success in boating from a non hard drive source? Thanks
