I've been through the same dilemma myself. If you think you're able to build your own server, I can recommend these links: (All cases are shallow, 19"-20" deep and 1U-2U) Since I'm not sure where you live here's a little selection. UK: http://www.acme-technology.co.uk/rack_mount.htm#1U (I own three ACM221) USA: http://www.compute-aid.com/rack1uc.html USA: http://www.uslogic.com/igc/code/igc90207.html (2U) Germany: http://www.inco.de/index.htm (click to Joy-101-A) And since you build your own system, your selection of hardware is large, since FreeBSD supports almost any motherboard. Kind regards, Mathias Haas. -----Original message----- I'm curious, does anyone know where to buy very small (possibly rack mountable but not needed that badly) computer systems that run good on BSD for cheap? I realize that the requirements I'm looking for are not even made anymore (p450, 128mb of ram would be fine) so as far as speed goes, a low end profile would be fine. Cost is important however - cheaper the better. I need something that looks "nice" but is very small - if rack mountable, 1U and not very deep. Any ideas?
