You can check out ready-made atom-based HTPCs such as from http://panache.co.in/ or even just buy their small form factor HTPC case and DIY the rest. That link has the configuration am looking for.

It only needs to connect to the customers network switch/router. If its an app the customer will use from their own premises locally and if you think the app will not see more than a request every second and your app is light weight then an Atom processor will just do. The advantage with Atom is that it will fit your form-factor requirements much more easily than conventional CPUs that require cooling fans.

It only needs to connect to the customers network switch/router. A HDD is essential. As for the processor, I would prefer Core i3 but a Core 2 Duo should suffice. I did follow your earlier informative posts. Will go through it again. thanks, mano ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
