Well what I am finding looks like it will be in the +80W range and I am trying to use less electricity.? I would put up with 40W, including drives. ITX board most likely? And will I end up needing 3 drives or does mirroring the OS partition work.

OK I am seeing claims that the Proliant Gen8 is 25 - 40W. More digging.

I would put up with 40W, including drives.You might want to consider a Raspberry Pi 4 with 8GB RAM and a case that will support a couple of 2.5in SSD drives. I'm running one here with postfix, courier-imap, clamav, amavisd, ... Mine is in an Argon One case with single 2TB SSD with a PoE Splitter. It's running the same email software that we run on CentOS and AlmaLinux. Current uptime on out main mail server is 362 days. This case has space for 2 2.5in SSD drives. https://smile.amazon.com/Geekworm-Raspberry-Storage-Expansion-Compatible/dp/B07VXF2HJG Geekworm New NASPi Gemini Dual 2.5'' SATA HDD/SSD NAS Storage Kit with DC 6-18V Wide Voltage Input|Safe Shutdown|Auto Power On|RAID Function for Raspberry Pi 4 Model B(Not Include Raspberry Pi) +--------------------+ | Part Price | +--------------------+ |RPi4B 8GB $215.00 | |Case 70.00 | |2SSD 300.00 | +--------------------+ |Total $585.00 | +--------------------+ Bill -- INTERNET: bill at celestial.com Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www2.celestial.com/ 6641 E.
