Low Powered, Cheap, *Small* Webservers? 9
EverCode asks: "I have seen the nano-servers in a few stories here on Slashdot, and in a way, the idea of those little things are part of my question. I need a server that does not suck electricity like a full blown computer does. It would run 24/7, not need to be very fast, quiet, and be CHEAP. 10baseT is all I need for NIC speed. Operating system is not an issue here. I figure one option may be to use my Windows 98 PC with some power management options turned on, but I imagine that would create slow response time and a lot of other problems, obviously. Ideally, the power savings would come from the hardware, not from the software. I am not against building something from scratch myself if necessary. Would it be possible for me to build a little/power saving server?
Thanks.
