Just a general warning :)

Trying to recruit people on other teams can easily backfire and it is generally considered as a bad thing to do.

I say this based on experience (not personal, but from what I've seen around in the DC community).

Btw. I'm crunching for Arstechnica.

Quite nice and cool! However, with the case and the board I posted above, I would get a silent box too - only passive cooling, so the only noise would come from the harddrive and a Barracuda V isn't saying much AFAIK :) Furthermore, I need 2 NIC's, which that board has got :cool: And at the same tim...

Time for another post :) I haven't bought or built anything yet, but I will eventually, when my life gets back to normal... It seems like a good thing that I haven't bought anything yet though, as some new cool stuff has been announced. Board with dial NICs: http://www.mini-itx.com/news/cebit2003-1/...

So a C3 800Mhz that can be cooled passively is actually available. Looks pretty nice! I'm think about using a case that's a bit larger than these very tiny cases because that makes it easier to add a second NIC and I have a feeling it'll be able to handle the heat (from the barracuda disk) a bit bet...

NaTeR: What kind of heatsink are you using?

And what about the rest of the system? is your system completely fanless?

And no, I don't have a T3 :( I have to settle with my cable connection currently which is 1024/256kb. That is enough for me currently though.

Hey, if you're in Denmark, maybe you can tell us something about these Power Fluid Fans . I mean, those specs are pretty crazy. If they really are that quiet, then there's little point in making a fanless system. Short answer: They aren't. Long answer: I bought a few of them when they started selli...

I found another board that I think might be my best option: http://www.viavpsd.com/product/epia_m_spec.jsp?motherboardId=81 Any comments on that? Adding a big disk and an extra NIC could be close to an optimal solution for me :) I then need to figure out what case and PSU I can put it in. I may not ...

Re: How about a Light?

You're building a Mail/Web/File/Firewall/Router ? Do you know how insecure it is to put your webserver on your firewall? No :) Why is it insecure? So the solution is to have 2 servers? What is sounds like you're looking for is the pretty darn cool Lex LIGHT . 3 Ethernet Ports, 3 usb ports, 2 serial...

Suggestions for a cheap little fanless server?

I plan on building a little server for mail/web/file/firewall/rounter/whatever sometime when I can afford it (which is not right now, but hopefully within the next few months). My current requirements are: * No fans - I don't need a lot of processing power and that should (I hope) make it possible t...
