CompuLab fit-PC3

I have two fit-PC3's called Jacinth and Iris. One is the Pro variant with an AMD G-T56N @1.6GHz; the other is the LP variant with an AMD G-T40E @1.0GHz. I also have two roles for them to do; the names go with the roles, not with the chassis.

• Jacinth is the home server, main router, and bastion host. The name Jacinth comes from a character in one of my stories. It is properly pronounced in the Germanic style with J representing the sound of Y.

• Iris is a home theater PC, that is, it records and plays back video and audio media. The name Iris comes from another character in one of my stories. In Greek mythology Iris is one of the messengers of the gods, and she travels between heaven and earth upon the rainbow, hence I'm using rainbow images as its logo. Also the iris of a camera or projector suggests this particular name for a video playback node.

I got the fit-PC3 Pro for the Jacinth role on about 2013-07-19. However it was rather overpowered for the home server role. I needed to replace my video playback machine, and so I purchased and set up a fit-PC3 LP, on 2014-02-18. Then I did a brain transplant so the LP chassis took the Jacinth role and the Pro chassis received the disc for the Iris role. Actually the fit-PC3 LP would have been sufficient for video playback, but this was not clear before purchase.
