At least it eats near 3W without any connected peripherals

Whew, at least smoke test was passed  

This thing will be an Intel Atom based fileserver with a near zero noise from it (I hope).

Motherboard: some Intel Atom motherboard with ITX formfactor and with 4 SATA interfaces, and gigabit Ethernet controller. PSU: some Chinese PSU which should emit 259W of power — enough for motherboard and 4 HDDs (I hope)

Судя по состоянию посленовогоднего рынка на Авито — все резко ломанулись делать себе NAS'ы и домашние сервера на Intel Atom  

Все интересные лоты, добавленные в «Избранное» неделю назад, уже раскуплены, остались (пока) висеть только унылые платы с Intel Atom D2xxx, 1-2 Гб RAM на борту и с 1-2 SATA портами.

Насилу нашёл б/у Zotac IonITX-G-E с 4 SATA на борту, которую какой-то чувак выставил на продажу меньше суток назад и за приемлемую цену, и её ещё чудом не успели купить:drgn_hide:

Pretty interesting how an old hardware works well and compute well in the strange configurations.

Prereqs: Intel Atom N2800 1866 MHz and 2 Gb RAM.

Since there are no NetBSD builds of xray-core and v2raya — I spin up a FreeBSD VM inside the Qemu and without NVMM accelerator (not supported by my CPU). Execute these programs inside this VM — and the server still running and even doesn't overload

But @lazygamereviews could take a look at the smol-er, later alterative that is not dissimilar to that #shuttle #fanless #IntelAtom desktop:

The #Dell #FX170 with it's 1st generation #N270 CPU which sipped power compared to the already-back-then obsolete #GMA945GCSE chipset...

intel atom is a joke

@timixretroplays yeah, I guess this shows @rasteri build this before businesses started upgrading tech.

I wished DM&P / ICOP would increase production or that there was an easier way to get other #ix86 SBCs from like #VIA (remember when they made #CUP|s?) or some #embedded variants from #Intel or #AMD.

#DOSBOX or similar do work well, but they don't provide the necessary I/O for a lot of use-cases.

Maybe you can drop in a different #Vortex86 which also has #ISA?

  • I know there are also Vortex86EX2 and others that may be an option...

@EpicPawt I can recommend to take a look at #TinyCore and #BunsenLabs if you like some #smol #desktop #distro...

TinyCore is a #BusyBox / #Linux and @bunsenlabs is a nifty #Debian derivate which runs even on a #GMA500 / #Poulsbo / #IntelAtom Z-series system like the #VaioP11Z just fine despite using #llvmpipe for rendering...
