Subject: [9fans] Hardware recommandations for new CPU and file servers
Date: Wed, 5 Jun 2013 20:52:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAEAzY3-Rn=Xy_9J9nGWaFAi90YcwpD4Gw4Jj+7XXAq_j3ss8ig@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
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:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/ATOM/X9/X9SBAA-F.cfm.
Where to put it though?
I want something completely silent. Think Soekris but 64 bit and
with a faster CPU. That means no PSU fan. Low power Atom boards
consume less power than laptops, I don't understand why nobody seems
to produce a design that does not use a fan for the PSU. The CPU
servers will be diskless, but for the file server I'd like something
that can fit a few drives. That means more than two. Four would be
ideal.
I am not limited to that board nor to Atom CPUs. I am curious what
other 9fans use or would like to use. Thanks.
