Components

Component Model
Mainboard Blackbird C1P9S01
Case Aerocool CS-101
Processor IBM 02CY650
Memory 2x 8GB 2666 ECC DIMMs
Storage 1024 M.2 SSD over M.2 PCIe adapter

Notes

The device runs much quieter than anticipated. Most applications pin the processor at around 2.3GHz, games see it climb to about 3.8GHz. Power usage ~4.5W plugged in, ~70W on bootup, ~65W idling at desktop.
