I want to make the cheapest possible device that meets the 2 specifications:
* Has to run Linux in some capacity, preferably a major distribution (arm is okay)
* Has to have a data port faster than USB2 (pic related has SATA 2.0, that would be good)
Bonuses:
* Onboard WiFi/Ethernet
* x86_64
* Can provide power for whatever storage I plug into it
* more than dual core
Anyone have any suggestions? Suggestions for the storage medium are welcome too, I was thinking a platter drive or maybe an mSATA if I can find a board that supports it and it's over 512GB for cheap.
I'll make a blog post or some other kind of written tutorial once it works on how to make a <100$ backup server with Syncthing and bring it back here.

I searched it, I'm not some kind of inbred, I was just hoping I could go to a discussion board and, you know, discuss things, because often times users of products have more insignt than looking through dozens of specsheets

this. What the fuck is it with people thinking that the purpose of a discussion board is to remind people about search engines.

>discuss things
Only things we discuss here are smartphones and GPUs

Contact AllWinner.
Pre-commit to purchase more than 10M units of the SoC they will design and produce to your specification.
Put up the collateral.
Wait 12 months for them to design and ramp up production on your SoC.
Hire 20 CEs to design and certify your board containing said SoC.

Look at the embedded solutions on newegg
Something there will probably grab your interest
Do you know about the Minnowboard?
It's Intels effort to get into embedded/Raspberry Pi Stuff.
I had one a year or so ago, it has SATA is x86. I had only the first one but there is a newer one, the MAX. But the Linux was pretty fucky, a weird Angstrom distro.

sweet, gonna read some more after a shower

I should probably wait for my next paycheck for that one, sounds premium
I found this guy, looks really nice, but it's over $100 for the board alone. I could probably do $200 with another $100 for a 300GB mSATA if it ended up being really good.
Anyone else have experience in ultracheap backup servers?

Not much to discuss though when you're part of the Apple Master Race.

I'm not really a fan of Intel's singleboards, after wasting a shit ton of dollars on the Edison and then never using it because the RPi Zero is better, cheaper, and has better support. Their weird homespun linux distros don't do anyone any favors either.
