I know that you recommended a EPIA 5000, but I am a little nervous about it being underpowered, and about the assembly required -- I'm not very handy.

What do you think of the "Bargain Fanless Mini-ITX BareBones Computer" as a silent 24/7 web server? I'm happy connecting it via USB to a 250GB Seagate HD I have in an enclosure. -- I am already doing it with the NSLU and it is quiet enough.

Would that work?

Thanks,
Geodog

P.S. Also, what are the specs on the memory I would need to purchase? I'd probably go for 512MB.

Actually, I was hoping to get this as a Christmas gift, but it looks like time is runing out for me to get the answers I need before XMAS.

Hi Geodog,

I'm running a home server on a Jetway EN1000 Mini-ITX system. It has an 80Gb Western Digital hard drive and 1 Gb of ram. I placed in a tower case that I already had on hand. I use CentOS 4.4 for the operating system. It works very well and consumes less than 30 watts in operation.

I wrote a howto at: http://www.linuxagora.com/vbforum/showthread.php?t=430

You can visit the working server at: http://percenthost.com

I have several other websites on the same server for experimental purposes. One that I'm working on will be the basis for a book I am writing. It is: http://humanepigenetics.com though it is still in its initial configuration.

It has been running for over a month without any problems. (I do have to stay on top of hacking efforts on a regular basis.

)

Jeff

Thanks for the post and the details on your site. You gave me the courage to take the plunge. I bought the bargain server.

Now I need to find out what kind of memory I can put in it -- I sent email to the store.

I will report back on my experiences.

Thanks,
Tim
