[Cialug] Low profile

What are your budget and performance criteria?

My suggestion, if you want a good amount of power, you need to save space, you have a decent budget, and you don't need Windows support, is the ODROID-XU3-Lite.  It runs at 5V 4A (it needs extra current to support a powerful SoC/CPU and a couple of USB3.0 ports) and offers amazing performance for its size and heat dissipation.

Is there anything in particular you want this computer to do for you?
