My understanding of the Eagle computers is that at least some of them are effectively a NUC in a custom enclosure with power management incorporated in the case. If I didn't already have a couple of NUC's running my rigs and wanted to add power management they could be a good alternative to the likes of a NUC and a Pegasus Powerbox or similar.

I have found the pair of NUC boxes I use to be a good setup. They were supposed to run from 12 to 19VDC but I found at least the first one I used less than stable at 12V so I use a 12V-19V boost converter mounted in a plastic enclosure with each NUC so that the entire rig uses a 12V power supply but the NUC gets the 19V it prefers.

I believe the NUC version ioptron mounts have a dedicated power port and ethernet port on the base with through mount cabling so you can take the preferred 19V and ethernet cable up to the NUC without dangling cables. If they had been available when I bought my CEM70G I might have bought the NUC version instead.
