Hello I'm looking for a small, lunchbox-like PC to build a small-form factor CRM server to sell to small companies. Ideally, it should have one PCI slot so that I can stick a voice card to connect to an analog phone line and run FreeSwitch as well. I like Asus' EeeBox (www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1=24&l2=165) but it doesn't have room for a PCI slot, and I'm concerned about its performance. I also like stuff from MiniITX (www.mini-itx.com) , but they're a bit pricey, and might also not be fast enough to act as a server. Are there brands/models you think I should look at? Thank you.
Check out Shuttle XPC, they have a room for video card and a PCI slot. But you have to think a about reliability when deployed in business environment. I am using this as my home server. On Fri, Mar 6, 2009 at 8:30 AM, Fred <codecomplete@free.fr> wrote:

We use the VIA mini ITX boards. Great for small offices and very stable with various fan-less options Regards ________________________________ From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Henry Huang Sent: 06 March 2009 17:11 To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Lunchbox-type PC as small server?

If using Intel D945..... MoBo.. then check this out http://www.mini-box.com/Intel-D945GCLF2-Mini-ITX-Motherboard http://www.mini-box.com/M350-universal-mini-itx-enclosure;jsessionid=0a01014... -E
I second the advantech boxes someone mentioned further up the thread, we have a few of the ARK-3000 series out there and they work great. http://www.advantech.com/products/Four-LAN-Ports-Compact-System/mod_1-2JKEGT... Campbell On Fri, 2009-03-06 at 19:20 -0500, EdPimentl wrote:
