I made a similar thread two years ago about using a Shuttle KPC as a web server. The plan never came to fruition. I'd like to see if I can put together a small, solid system for relatively cheap that can be a web server for years to come. I'd like it to be powerful enough (bandwidth permitting) to stream media without pause.
A web server doesn't need much power, but I'm not sold on Intel's Atom offerings. Just an overall impression that the more normal solutions are more practical. But please try to sway me if you want to. I haven't looked at the Atom for awhile.
I just looked on Shuttle's site and saw the SG41J1 PLUS (LGA775), but it seems to fall flat, especially given the almost $200 to get one. I've browsed Newegg, but nothing is striking me. So I've come here to ask around.
I don't have an exact budget for the entire system, but let's aim for under $300 for now.
