| Just wondering if anyone is using a Cube PC or the like? I'm looking to build extremely small servers that can be easily transported across the country. Anyone have any recommendations? Last edited by Gavin; 29-05-2008 at 12:29 PM.. Reason: Adding some questions marks. |

| I know one crowd were using a mac mini before Guess it really would depend on the spec you require ? Raid ? ... Tapebackup ? DVD ? How many ports ... extra ethernet ? Of course I was assuming you meant a web server here Though thinking about it now you probably meant file server ?

| I really wouldn't be too happy moving around 3.5 inch disks too much either ... I've had a few (granted put into enclosures by me) go belly up in the past ... The Heads on them can be strange and lock up ... but if you've got raid going .. go for it (though in those enclosures I'm not sure how many drives you can dump in?) I'd really look into 2.5inch drives .. (see another thread on the board about best bets) ... they are up to 320gb or so ... at reasonable prices at the moment Mac OSX .... you'll get there :P |

| Dave those shuttle's are ideal for what I would be looking at, especially for transporting. Think I'll go for this design. Forbairt I'd be buying more than one of them but cheers for pointing out the sale. |
