I want to replace my CPU and file servers. I don't need much performance, a new Atom is more than enough, but I'd like something that supports at least 8GB RAM. This board seems nice: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/X9/X9SBAA-F.cfm.
Where to put it though? I want something completely silent. Think Soekris but 64 bit and with a faster CPU. That means no PSU fan. Low power Atom boards consume less power than laptops, I don't understand why nobody seems to produce a design that does not use a fan for the PSU. The CPU servers will be diskless, but for the file server I'd like something that can fit a few drives. That means more than two. Four would be ideal. I am not limited to that board nor to Atom CPUs. I am curious what other 9fans use or would like to use. Thanks. -- Aram Hăvărneanu
