I know what you mean :) That model is 10/100 and I need Gigabit for other devices in my network that will benefit from it. Managed is something I always wanted to learn more about. This seems like a good opportunity while upgrading.

8 PoE will be future proof for me.

That's a great alternative! Seems like Netgear has more features ie. Web Management. Not sure how either one is better when it comes to reliability?

Hello, I need 16 port gigabit switch with PoE (for IP cameras in home network). In my research I came across this NETGEAR ProSAFE JGS516PE https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GG1ACX2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Price after rebate: $144.99 Never had Netgear...

Thanks! For some reason I wasn't able to see those in my searches.

I can't find anything about release date of i3 6100T, link please?

About PSU based on user reviews it looks like 280W is for the US market and 450W for EU. I like power consumption of your suggestion but after I add memory, PSU and case it will be well over price for TS140. Decisions, decisions....... :Colbert:

I thought no HD is standard and adding HD is nonstandard? So far I have my eyes on TS140 :)

Thanks for the replies guys! I already have Raspberry Pi but I don't it can handle Desktop version of Ubuntu and that's what I would like to have. XavierMace's suggestion is tempting but I would need to wait until November. Not a big deal though. What really caught my eye is...

Thanks for the replies guys! I started to look for Xeon MBs and seperate CPU and that increases price a lot quickly. Above MB/Atom combo was about $250 My budget would be 500-600.

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I do care how it runs. Every camera has its own web interface and I will only use Ubuntu to store video recordings. In other words no "DVR system" will be installed on the machine. Having said that can someone recommend a step up from this Atom then? MB and CPU. Maybe...

Thanks for explaining efficiency level, I did not know that! Now I have to decide which route to go.

You' are right. I could replace it with bigger one but that has really old Core 2 Duo CPU and I'm hoping one day when I have this machine setup to move my phone system to Ubuntu and stop using it. About power "waste" a while back I came across a web site that once you would plugin your CPU, MB...

Thanks for the reply! 1) has only one HD slot http://images.highspeedbackbone.net/SKUimages/enhanced/A180-4505-call01-jfwd.jpg 2) I would like to stay w/ Ubuntu and if possible install desktop version. unRAID does look interesting but I think having Ubuntu has additional opportunists for...

Hi all, I would like to build low power Linux server and install Ubuntu on it. Primary purpose on it to learn about Linux and second one is to store my home Hikvison IP-Camera surveillance footage there and also use for personal picture/video backup. Now I have small Acer Aspire Revo...
