[Freeswitch-users] Hardware - PC vs blackbox vs server

Hi I have successfully built a FreeSwitch system and just wanted to get some input from those who have already deployed a system as to your hardware of choice (just the OS hardware - will be running Linux)? Is there someone who makes a good slimline blackbox solution or should I just put together my own machine. I will be using all external devices (no internal FXO/FXS cards) so there should be no need to worry about which is the best mobo etc. My concern is that a standard PC is not meant to be left running 24/7 (reliability) while a server may be too expensive and large for the task? All comments greatly appreciated.
