Would probably work well enough on an existing server or lightly loaded desktop PC. Mine worked on a FreeBSD system with an Intel P133 processor/48MB from about 1995! Anything later should be OK. I'm now running it on three Windows systems (2000, XP and Windows-7), although the performance isn't as good as the FreeBSD system. Wilson - I'm sorry to hear of your problems, particularly the charging issue.
