[asterisk-users] looking for "solid state" like PC suitable for Asterisk
Hi all, for smaller (or maybe even bigger) sites I'm looking for a smaller, appliance-type like PC, preferably solid state and fanless PC. Since it's only going to run Asterisk for a couple of extensions I don't think CPU and RAM need to be maxed out. Does anyone have inspiration/experience for/about such a model? thx!! BC

I use HP Thin Clients with AstLinux installed. HP 5720's are available on eBay for not much money, or there are many small boards available new if you don't or can't use used. 10 watts, no fan, no HD Not sure what might be available in your part of the world, but there are Sockris and ALIX flash based boards. AstLinux has special configurations for these. I have 20-30 AstLinux on thin clients working without a belch on a private collectors network John Novack Bart Coninckx wrote:> Hi all, > > for smaller (or maybe even bigger) sites I'm looking for a smaller, > appliance-type like PC, preferably solid state and fanless PC. > Since it's only going to run Asterisk for a couple of extensions I > don't think CPU and RAM need to be maxed out. > > Does anyone have inspiration/experience for/about such a model? > > thx!! > > BC > > -- > _____________________________________________________________________ > -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- > New to Asterisk?

I really find it quite humorous that people use 'solid state' to mean 'no moving parts'. All of the parts of my computers that move are still composed of solid materials, and the electrical currents involved in them still move through solid materials :-) -- Kevin P.
