Getting an operating system on an APU can be a bit tricky.
Thankfully, we’ve found a really easy way to install an operating system onto an APU.
And it works for anything, whether that’s Voyage Linux, monowall, pfSense or something else.
So what is the difference between the APU1, the APU2 and the APU3 boards?
It’s certainly something I’ve asked Paul more than once, so I can’t be the only one.
Discover the key differences between these tiny fanless computers.
Our APU server cases are pretty awesome, but then maybe I’m a little biased.
Here’s five things that I love about our APU cases.
Have you ever wondered what it takes to build one of our wireless APU 1 servers?
Now you can see all the nitty gritty details in our latest timelapse video.
Watch Paul build an orange APU 1 server, with wireless card, in under 60 seconds!
Thank you for being a part of our lives in 2016 and we wish you all the best for an even more amazing year in 2017.
We’re taking a 3-week break over Christmas, so here’s the important dates for our end-of-year period.
Our case manufacturer recently increased the cost of all of the case parts for our specially designed rack mount server cases.
So all of our rack mount servers have increased in price by $50.
pfSense 2.3 has just been released. You can update your install by going to System > Firmware > Auto Update in the WebGUI.
We’ll start offering it as the default on our boxes when we’re happy that it’s working well, but you can request it pre-installed on any server when you place your order.
Ever wondered what goes into building one of our dual-board rackmount servers?
Now you can see for yourself, with this timelapse video of Paul building one by hand from scratch.
We’ve figured out a way to make it a gazillion times easier to install an operating system onto your APU.
Just follow along with our latest tutorial to create a bootable USB drive using Voyage Linux.
We’ve done a big stock clean out, so there’s a bunch of things on sale, priced at or below cost.
Everything has to go, so now’s the perfect time to grab yourself a bargain.
But only while stocks last, so get in quick.
To help you plan ahead, here are the important dates for our end-of-year closure in 2015.
And may your holiday season be full of joy, love and laughter.
If you’re struggling to connect to your pfSense box via the web interface, it could be because you have an IP address conflict on your local network.
Just follow our step-by-step guide to change the IP address of pfSense® using the serial console, and you can get back to more important things.
With headless devices like our our ALIX, APU and net servers, sometimes you’ll need to connect directly to them via their serial console to figure out what’s going on.
Just follow the simple steps in our latest tutorial to connect to the serial console on your headless device and get it back under control.
We’ve dropped the price on our 8dBi N-type female antenna from $65 to just $10. Grab them while stocks last.
Thanks to everyone who has helped us donate $120 to Voyage Linux over the last six months.
We love using Voyage Linux on our hardware and in our business, and we love being able to support fantastic projects like this.
You rock!
To help you plan ahead, here’s the important dates for our end-of-year period for 2014.
And thank you for your support this year and we wish you all the best for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday season.
We’ve got great news and not-so-great news.
The great news is that we finally have ALIX 2-3 boards back in stock. Yay!
The not-so-great news is that we’re still having supply problems, so our current stock may run out again before we can get more. Doh!
If you’ve ever wanted to add your own touch to the pfSense® software, then you might be very interested in our new tutorial on rebranding the pfSense® software.
Also in this month’s update:
– How to switch between Rident and pfSense®
– Shortage of ALIX 2-3 boards
– Rident 2.1.5 images now available
– First donation made to Voyage Linux
– Thank you for planting thousands of trees
– We have moved
– Changes to same-day shipping and hard copy invoices

As of today, we have relocated from our premises in Bayswater to an office in Boronia.
Please check our contact details page for our latest contact information.
We are pleased to announce the newest release of our rebranded and optimised version of pfSense®, Rident 2.1.5.
Rident 2.1.5 is now the default version of Rident available on all of our servers.
pfSense 2.1.5 is primarily a security release. For full details of the changes in v2.1.5, please read the pfSense® documentation.
Rident firewall and router software is our rebranded, customised version of the pfsense® software, optimised for our hardware.
Plus:
– How to install the pfSense® software on a net6501
– How to attach the heatsink to an APU board
– New Compex miniPCI express wireless card
– New 4GB Kingston CF card
– m0n0wall v1.8.1 released
Our new Rident open-source firewall and router software, based on the pfSense® software, is now available.
It’s basically the same software that we’ve always offered, just with a new name and a new-ish look.
The pfSense® project was acquired last year by a US company called Electric Sheep Fencing LLC, and as a result the usage terms for the pfSense® software have changed.
We will be working over the next several weeks to ensure that our website is updated to comply with the new requirements.
We are pleased to begin offering our new range of Rident™ firewall and router software images for download, which are based on the pfSense® software and optimised for our hardware.
We apologise for any inconvenience or confusion caused.
Follow along as we show you how to install the pfSense® software onto an APU board, using either the standard image from the pfSense® website or our Rident™ ready-made done-for-you images based on the pfSense® software.
Or download our ready-made Rident™ software images, based on the pfsense® software and optimised for the APU and net6501.
You can also sign up for email updates and support Voyage Linux.
If you’re looking to install the pfSense® software on an APU 1 board, then you’ll probably be very interested in our new ready-made Rident™ O/S images.
Our images are based on the embedded image from the pfSense® website, but have three important differences to make your life even easier:
1. The ethernet ports are pre-assigned
2. It doesn’t hang during boot
3. It resets to our factory defaults
The super-awesome APU servers are now available.
fit-PC2 end-of-life announced.
Congratulations to our competition winners.
New 8GB SD card now available.
New version of Voyage Linux released.
Add your own custom image for only $15.
CompuLab have announced that the fit-PC2 and fit-PC2i will be end-of-life from October 2014.
Stock availability won’t be affected for now, but it’s a good time to stock up, pre-order parts or consider one of our other low-power desktop PCs.
The new APU (awesome possibilities unlimited) server from PC Engines is here.
With a ton of features packed into the tiniest of spaces, it really is the most impressive embedded fanless server ever.
And we’re not at all biased. Not a bit.
We have three lucky winners who were the first to find five out of the six cat pictures on our new website.
Thank you so much to everyone for taking part in the fun! And if you’re itching to know where they were, then here’s a list of all six cats and their hiding places.
And have a cat-tastic day!
To help you along with our “find the cats” competition, we’ve decided to post some hints, one at a time.
So keep watching this page for more updates.
Or go looking for cats, it’s up to you.
Our new website is up and running! To celebrate, we’re running a “find the cats” competition where you can win heaps of cool prizes.
We’ve also added new products and more. Check it out.
To celebrate the launch of our new website, we’re running a competition.
Well, now our website has six. Six pictures of cats. Honestly.
And if you’re the first to find them, we’re going to send you some cool stuff.
Well, what are you waiting for? Go!!
CompuLab have announced two new miniature desktop PCs – the fit-PC4 and the Intense PC2.
They’re way faster than their predecessors, and all still packed into the same tiny, fanless enclosure.
They just keep getting better and better!
Lexar, in their infinite wisdom, have decided to discontinue their 8GB Platinum II Compact Flash card.
We’ve bought up on stock, but once our supply runs out, we won’t be able to get any more.
We’re currently looking for other options and at the moment, the Kingston range looks promising.
Just a quick update to let you know about a new embedded board that’s coming soon from PC Engines – the APU – that looks incredibly awesome.
We’ve also been madly working on our new website and so haven’t been adding any new products.
If you’re after a Utilite, uSVR (MicroSVR) or a fit headless, please drop us a line, just in case we just happen to have some stock lying around.
The new “APU” embedded computer is more powerful than ever! It’s a cross between an ALIX 2-2, an ALIX 2-3 and an ALIX 6, with a dual-core 1GHz processor and 4GB of RAM thrown in.
With heaps of storage options (including support for a hard drive), 3 Gigabit ethernet ports, built-in 3G/4G support, the sky really is the limit. And it’s still just as tiny and fanless. O.M.G.
We like to think of the APU as “Awesome Possibilities Unlimited”. Coming soon!
We’ve been promising this for a while, but we’re getting SO close I can taste it.
Here’s a screenshot of the new catalogue in case you’re a teensy bit curious.
We’re working really hard to keep the best bits of our current site, while adding lots of great new content and features, to make your transition to the new site as painless as possible.
The latest product from CompuLab – the MicroSVR (also called the uSVR) – has finally been approved for sale in Australia.
The MicroSVR is a high-performance server, which is extremely small, incredibly powerful and totally silent.
CompuLab have also introduced the Utilite – an ARM-based Cortex-AP miniature low-power desktop designed for Linux and Android systems.
We’re currently working on a new version of our website and hope to have it ready for you “real soon now”.
Check out this awesome collection of pfSense® software “how to” articles at pfsensesetup.com.
And we’re currently working on a kit that will allow you to install a LAN1841 in our rackmount net6501, creating a rackmount server with a total of eight Gigabit ethernet ports.
We finally have approval to sell the Intense PC in Australia! Yay! And for a limited time, receive a LEGO minifigure with the purchase of any Intense PC.
Extend your fit-PC3 or Intense PC with a great range of new accessories.
We also now have the LAN1841 PCI Express 4-port Gigabit ethernet adapter from Soekris Engineering, and updated versions of monowall and pfSense® software are available.
Get a free pfSense® book when you purchase any of our servers with pfSense® software pre-installed.
The 8GB Lexar Platinum II CF card is new this month, while the 4GB SanDisk Ultra Compact Flash cards have been discontinued.
Our 8 dBi antennas are on special at the moment and we’ve dropped the price on all of our external PSU rackmount products by a massive $90.
