Anyone have any suggestions on what they are using for appliance hardware?
Small professional looking hardware that people are using for their own appliances or for businesses?
Virtual server/hypervisor is pretty much a nobrainer. Anything from 1U rackmount down to mini appliances. I'm thinking sub $100 to $200 barrier.
Thanks

Low Budget hardware
Well that a good question.
First of all you have to think of what you are going to do with the appliance, and where you are going to use it.
I have built a small server for a few websites, nas box and mail server.
Hardware most from EBay (Can be a risk but bid low to avoid big losses)
Case : small ITX
Cpu : Celeron D 3.2 Ghz
Main Board : Zotac NForce 610i-ITX (bought new from computer supplier)
Ram : 2 Gigs DDR2 800
Aditional Cards : SATA Compact Flash Reader
Storage : 16 GB Compact Flash Card (For the OS)
1 TB SATA Harddrive for Non OS data.
1 DVD Writer For installing and Burning Backups etc.
The most expensive item out of the list was the main 1 TB harddrive.
Hope this Helps
Kev
