Like many others I've got a couple of old PCs sitting under the stairs being put to various tasks, one of which is running slimserver.
I've recently been looking at the heat, power draw and noise of that setup so I'm thinking of consolodating the whole lot into a NAS and a small head unit. The boxes are currently used for: - Domain controller (historical reasons, don't ask, it may not even happen in the rebuild) - file server - SlimServer (107GB/~4000 tracks, mix of FLAC and MP3). - SQL server - source control server The last two are services that will be running, but will be so lightweight I don't really need to spec for them apart from RAM. The current SlimServer box is a Celeron 2.4 / 512MB RAM. Can anyone shed any light on the comparative performance of something like the new C3 1300? Is it man enough for the job if I fill it with RAM? Alternatively, does anyone have any other bright ideas for a low power draw, quiet box that doesn't need any fancy TV or video features and will just hum quietly to itself under the stairs?
