Building an X-230 into a Qubes machine.

[ggg...@gmail.com]

As I could not afford a Privacy Beast, I bought a refurbished X-230 Core I5, 4 GB RAM to convert on my own.  Soon I will get the 16 GB of RAM to put into it.  I am looking to buy a ch-431a to program it from Amazon.  I know the guys at Insurgo list on they use from China, but right now, I am not much interested in ordering one delivered from China.   Not sure when it would be delivered, and whether I want it into my house.  

Once again, is there anything special about PROM an I5 versus an I7?

Any one out there have any recommendations on exactly which one of these Amazon products to choose?

I have just identified Amazon recommends:  https://www.amazon.com/Organizer-Socket-Adpter-Programmer-CH341A/dp/B07R5LPTYM/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?keywords=programmer%2C+ch431a&qid=1583326902&s=hi&sr=1-2-fkmr0

Most of these products come from China. If you use a Raspberry Pi then
it comes from the UK, I think.
