<br>
I'm looking for ideas of mini PCs I can use for a small RDO cloud -<br>
looking at maybe 3 shuttle PCs, each with "enough" disk (maybe 800GB<br>
total storage) and RAM (8GB per PC enough?). Also, I'm wondering if 2<br>
NICs is reasonable to ask for. My desired price point is *low* - all 3<br>
for under $1000 would be ideal, failing that, as close to it as possible.<br>
<br>
Anyone have recommendations for hardware that would serve this process?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Dave.<br>
