Re: [Rdo-list] Cheap, quiet hardware for a small RDO installation?
Intel NUCs are a great option, are very quiet and since they are quite small, can fit
almost anywhere. One built-in network controller though. I have an all-in-one Juno install
at home with 8GB RAM and an i5 processor. Granted I am quite limited, but you can also opt
for one with 16GB memory, an i7 processor and a ~250GB SSD for $500-600 at Amazon.com.
Some models can hold 2 SSDs (one SATA and one mSATA) so you can have extra disk capacity
if needed.

I've got an HP microserver (which have already been mentioned), and
they're good if multiple drive bays is a requirement. Not especially
quiet with multiple disks in it though (depends on your definition of quiet).
Also the small form-factor desktops (I have a Dell Optiplex 7010) are
good, they support up to 16G RAM, works well for a pre-built solution.
If I were doing this now though, I'd be tempted to look at the Intel
NUC boxes - they can only take one internal disk but are quite cheap
and can take up to 16G RAM in some models. Very small too.
Exactly, was about to mention this one. /me was considering it:

But, I'm looking for one that has the newest Intel processor (Atleast
"Haswell").
