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:

Where to put it though?

is anyone working on a xhci driver? or is anyone willing to send hardware
so someone who's willing will write a driver for it?

send me an address. how many boards do you want?

I use Supermicro 5015A-EHF-D525 1U servers in a 19" cabinet. they are
fairly quiet. you can usually find reasonably priced used 12U or 24U
cabinets at places like RE-PC.
i've not found a good way of mounting Sheeva and RPi cpu's in the cabinet.

For something low power you can use an external power brick and a "picoPSU"
DC-DC converter with 12V in and 5V + 12V out with appropriate connectors. Check
out mini-itx.com. Fanless power supplies are also available upto about 480W.
Though I don't worry about fan noise as my fileserver is not t
I bought a SuperMicro X7SLA-H a few years ago, 2 1.6Ghz Atoms with 2xGbE,
though only 2GB of RAM. This is my home auth/cpu/file server.
I am very happy with it, it does have a small fan for the glue logic chip
but the cpu is passively cooled. I have this in an mini-ITX case with a pair or
mirrored
+1 to this, though I use a different chassis.
Since I'm relegated to an apartment at the moment, I have a desktop rack
mounted in a closet. My development boards are set on top of the cabinet
with 6-32 1/2" standoffs, which rest on an ESD mat grounded to the rack.
It's small, but gives me about 8U

Fanless, I must concede, but then the Li-Ion batteries weren't

I'm looking to eliminate the 220V circuit between UPS and PSU
altogether, I believe it to be archaic and inefficient. I'm also
looking for multiple inputs, so that eventually it will be possible to
connect the PSU directly to solar panels as well

I think I have a cultural inability to search the web, but I certainly
did try.

I have a UPS that won't sync with the generator, there are engineering
excuses for this, but it's ridiculous that two expensive pieces of
equipment can't cooperate to solve the problem they are designed to
address.
It's that type of absurdity that makes

Yes - I use picoPSU with both atom and core i5 (low-power 2500T model),
and find them very reliable. Besides being fanless they take up hardly
I just use old thinkpads from the scrapyard.
schrotti is an old x20 with broken screen, connected is one sata hdd via pcmcia.
The main file server is an x60 with docking station and pcmcia sata
card, together this gives me 4 sata ports. You just need the right
cables (ebay china).
