All,
Just updated my Mini-ITX Home server board with a Dual Core Atom Mini-ITX board.
So I now have the following that needs moving on:
VIA EPIA ML- (I will get model number when I am in) 666mhz board - Onboard Graphics etc...
512mb DDR Ram
Power Supply to the board
PCI Riser Card.
All boxed with Drivers etc....
*Plus* Belkin Wireless USB Dongle
Link to the board: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/ma...erboard_id=301
It has no TV out, again I will get the model number when I get home.
What you will need:
Case (mini-itx.com are good for all this gear)
2.5" IDE Hardrive (if going into a Mini-ITX case)
IDE - Mini IDE Cable for the 2.5" drive
External Power Brick
VGA Cable etc....
http://linitx.com/ are also good for the cables etc......
You cannot install an OS with a USB drive, you must wire up the drive to the board but a USB DVD Drive can be used afterwards.
It has served me well for the last 12 months hosting my website, playing DivX (Even VOB's but prob needs 1gb to get best playback), surfs the web and is mainly used to grab my NZB's
I have needed to upgrade so I can use the server to edit Photo's on the big screen downstairs now. It's probably capable but a little slow when demanding tasks are asked of it.
I have been running it on XP Professional with no issues at all.
If you think you need a little server, download station etc... then this is a low cost solution.
I am looking for £50 delivered for the lot. It's all boxed as new. I even have a spare 256mb that I will shot in to as I have no use for that.
