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

[ocset]

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.
