Hi all, I am looking for a mini PC (palm sized or thereabouts) that sports a 10GBe LAN connection (RJ45, not SPF+). I have searched high and low and they don't seem to exist!

If not, are there any mini PCs out there that have the ability to upgrade to a 10GBe NIC via PCIe?

Thanks!

Yeah 10Gbe isnt main stream and may not be for many years to come. You are kinda stuck with 10Gbe as an expansion card, or 10Gbe on a ITX Xeon D platform. Also with SFP+ you can just put in a 10Gbe SPF+ connector and make it RJ-45

Thanks Sniper, the issue I am running into is that many cases for the smaller PCs don't seem to support expansion. I've looked at offerings from Zotac, Super Micro, all over the place. They all seem to either offer just GBe or an enclosure that doesn't have an expansion option.
