I recently did this using micro-ATX to save money over they shuttle / ITX
form factor. I built around the cheapest low-wattage AMD quad-core APU I
could find on Newegg with 8GB RAM on each box and slow 1tb spinning
platters. I think I got down to about $340 / each for all components
including PCI-e 2x1GB NICs I got second hand from a parts liquidator. If
you are interested in specifics I can try to compile them after work.

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