I have also been running one of these: vendor_id : CentaurHauls cpu family : 6 model : 10 model name : VIA Esther processor 1200MHz stepping : 9 cpu MHz : 1197.113 cache size : 128 KB And it works quite well, its a fanless setup at 400 or 600Mhz, so can run really quiet, at 1200Mhz though it needs a fan. I've got this running a 4 x 1 TiB mdraid-0 ( yes, 0 ) on a el-cheapo sil based sata interface card on a Gigabit Ethernet and can get upto 160MiB/sec out of the machine on iscsi. - KB
