Hi, and thanks, i was considering a SSD or CF card as hdd. Whats the boot speeds of these CF cards? The hdd is really silent en pretty fast

I forgotten to add a air vent hole to the project, ill add one on the top, i think ill use some small holed grill, so they cant drop stuff into it.
or maybe to the side, then its also hard to insert something fluid.

Here i made the router guide for fitting the screen



And here its done

It also can launch applications for games and drawing programs.

I was thinking of building the same thing for my sons (same ages as your kids). I have a couple of CRT touchscreen monitors collecting dust. Obviously the cab would be a lot beefier than yours :D Just curious what drawing programs you have found that are kid friendly?

The boot speeds aren't too bad, obviously it's slower because of the Card's read/write limits, but it's tolerable IMO.
I believe it's fairly comparable to an old IDE 5400rpm @ around 45MB/s, depending if your card is one of the newer high speed ones.

Though I just read the wiki page on CF cards, and it seems that you can get higher speeds:

    * CF+ and CompactFlash Revision 4.0 (2006) added support for IDE Ultra DMA 133 for a maximum data transfer rate of 133 MB/s (UDMA 133).

That's faster than an IDE 7200rpm HDD...

Hey, Martijn, I was eyeing the same board for a totally different purpose... Did you finish this project?

@ Martijn

Any updates? I missed the later parts of this thread when I wasn't on the boards much...I have the same router model! Great routing shots!  :applaud:
