From what you're saying, you can stick in a graphics card and basically run your N7700 as regular linux box with openfiler. I'd be interested in how you got to that point... fancy sharing your experiences?

    regards,

    I too would love to do the same thing--can we use the native Thecus N7700 ver 3.X Firmware with a Nvidia GeForce 8400GS and openfiler to make a usable and networked linux computer?
    -eagerly awaiting...

    will see with some other cards...
    Isn't the GS8400 a Pci-E x16 card?
    How does it fit into the tiny pci-e slot of the N7700?
    I would love to be able to hook the n7700 to a screen!

    Re: N7700 RAM / Memory upgrade

    Ok, so I bought a VGA connector and simply attached it to the motherboard. Works perfectly!
    I also got a new processor and some more memory as well.

    I have installed freeNAS on the N7700 but it seems to be missing drivers for the storage controller, a marvell 88SE63xx chip. Can't find any information about it regarding freeBSD so I guess I have to look to Linux.

    Anyone know if openfiler work on the N7700 without modification?
