I'm looking at buying a Shuttle or Biostar SFF machine and putting FC2 on it as a file server. I'm looking at one of the older ones that has can use an AMD Athlon or a P4 either one.

I want one with on board video since it is a server I won't be needing 3D and such. But the cheap XPC and iDEQ have graphics I've never heard of such as: S3 Savage8, SiS315, and VIA Unichrome. The ones with Geforce4 MX is about $250. The others start at $166.

Currently, my server is an IBM PC300GL with a Pentium II 450, 100GB IDE, 384MB memory, and a 3Com ISA nic. It's big and bulky. So the thought of a SFF machine to replace this would make it a nicer machine. And if the server turns out nice and works well with FC2, then I might get another one for my desktop which is an aging PIII 650.

So if anyone has any experience with FC2 and any SFF machine please either post to the list or send me email privately, I'd be happy to report what I find back to the list and definitely on my blog at: http://www.jroller.com/page/jmrodri

Sincerely,
