I've been running a home built low-power server for nearly 2 years now. Based on this Mobo: http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11212 which I've downclocked to 1Ghz. I've installed it a fairly cheap mini-itx case (I think it cost £14 - new - on eBay) It runs Linux (currently Ubuntu Server 8.10) It also runs: my business phone system (Asterisk) Samba for our family shared network Acts as a local development server with LAMP (For Joomla! Wordpress et al) SVN Code repository It also ran Java/Tomcat and Alfresco and a Calendar Server for a time. It runs headless. I wrote about it in a series of blog posts when I was intending to stick Untangle on it too - but in the end I never bothered with UT although that's a great product IMHO. You can read about it here if you like (from the bottom-up): http://www.theopensourcerer.com/tag/untangle/ Any of the VIA or Atom based devices would be fine for more than most people's requirements. There are new Atoms about to appear based on smaller die (35nm) and a new chipset on the Mobo which is less power hungry than the original Intel 845 which they supplied. Hope this helps.
