Remote Access Server [Suggestions?] |

I'm planning on running a server from my Pine64, and after i set everything up, i want to put the Pine in a closet or something. I was hoping i could use something to access the Pine from a different computer or device, so i did some research.
I found this: https://www.realvnc.com
If you look at their downloads page, found here, it lists a bunch of versions of their software for a bunch of operating systems. They have viewers for a bunch of operating systems as well.
Do you think this VNC software will work on the Pine64? If so, which operating system would you recommend? (I was hoping for some flavor of Linux to save resources, but anything is up for suggestion. I was thinking that a graphical remote connection would be easier than just command-line.)
Opinions?

I think a cluster of these would be perfect to comb through thousands of night sky photos every day to identify meteor strikes.
In proper terminology, my 'cluster' will not run MPI or other clustering software. It will be a group of independent work nodes. The basic workflow is:
Get three sequential images where the middle one has not yet been processed.
Process the photos (convert from Canon RAW format; adjust brightness, contrast, etc...; compare the images; look at middle image for meteor signs like streaks or other irregularities)
Report results back to the main MySQL server.
Other computers in this class (like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc...) just don't have the horsepower to do this well. I have tried this on a single 64 bit computer running Windows 7 but this shows bottlenecks in processing, OS Context Switching and network/HD access. I believe having several Pine64s crunch through the images will work much better.
If this work well and I have time and money for the additional hardware, I may use the same methodology to search for asteroids. We shall see.

Super Mario case [NOW WITH UPDATED STL-FILE (April 27.)] |

Was playing around with the idea of making a SuperMario themed casing for my Pine.
The casing will be made in 3mm acrylic and the overall dimmensions of it will be 135x135x135mm.
I was not able to attach image, but if you follow the link under you can see the "prototype" of the case from my OneDrive album.
The album can be found here...
(The last image is side by side my Lumia 925 as reference to the size of the casing)
Because of the design there is ALOT of room for "shields" and addons to the Pine.
Needless to say this is going to be used as a gaming console...
UPDATE 27. April 2016:
New STL file is uploaded to my Google Drive account.
Newest update is raising the cutouts 5mm to make sure there is room for the soldering points underneath the Pine
The file can be found HERE!

I purchased a Pine64 through kickstarter and am and interested in using this PC as a multi purpose device. I will utilize it as a HDMI media PC with Kodi, but I would also like to use it as a zwave controller. I was wondering if this is possible.
I see the simple ability to use this PC to turn on/off lights, fans and scenes. But being that this PC will be connected to my 70" TV as a monitor, I figured I could get multiple purposes from it.
My second questoin is if it will have an IR port built in. I have a logitech Harmony Elite home remote that I would also like to use with this awesome new computer.
Any other advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Any idea if the Pine as well as the screen are suitable for automotive temperatures? I wanted to make mine a "carputer" and mount a touch panel in my truck permanently. I know some electronics will become ruined in the Florida heat because of this though, (it is not recommended to leave normal tablets in your vehicle all the time, etc). Also, is the touch panel connection extendable so I can mount the pine under the dash, and have the screen be where the radio would normally be?
Thanks!
