You could base your box on a motherboard with an onboard CPU (like Intel Atom). The disadvantage
of these boards is that they usually come only with a single PCI or PCIe slot. There are
industrial boards with different options, but they are rather expensive.
The idle power of Sandy/Ivy Bridge s
I'm replacing a home PBX with an Asterisk server that needs 2 Digium
cards (one PCI, one PCIe). Right now I'm just using a spare desktop
machine, but it's overkill in terms of size/power/heat/noise/CPU
power.
Does anyone know any cost-effective alternatives?
