Hey,
A bit out of topic but I am looking for a micro server/pc if anyone knows a descent one... I found many nice NAS but I would like to have full access to the OS (install CentOS, etc).
Dream one would be
- Very quiet (fanless) since it will sit in my bedroom. - Headless - Small. - 2/3 HDs (2.5" are ok) for RAID1 (hardware RAID would be nice, and with BBC even more).- 1 or 2 GB NICs - USB3 or ESATA would be nice... - Price would not be much of a problem (maybe no more than $1000 though).
Random thoughts: - a shuttle PC with 2 HDs and a real RAID card (if it fits inside), but maybe too noisy, no headless. - a mac mini server looks very nice (but max budget, need another Mac to install, not sure if easy/possible to install CentOS). - some NAS were I could easily replace the OS (not on a flash chip).
So if you know a nice one...
Thx, JD
