Price is probably the biggest concern, then performance. Size is a +. I just need a cheap general server for me and 3 other roommates, behind a DSL/Cable line. I'll be hosting a couple of websites, and probably a few LAN games and files, maybe a FTP server too. Im not sure if a high performance system would be necessary? Here is what im currently looking at:
Cubid 2677 mini-ITX Case (Black) silent External PSU
VIA EPIA-800 C3 mini-ITX Mainboard (onboard CPU, video, TV out, audio, LAN)
Its basically a 800MHz C3 with everything built in computer. Those "box" computers are nice, but a bit too pricey. I was able to build a cheap 1.2GHz Duron/SIS 745/DDR/ATX w/300W comp at newegg for $215. Would the Duron improve performance over the C3 in a server environment? Would it make any difference?
