Hey anyone have any idea on how to do this. I know the sun V440 run on something ridiculous like 200 Watts. What kind of hardware do you need exactly to build a server to minimize the amount of voltage you can use. http://sla.ckers.org/forum/read.php?11,353,353#msg-353 Tue, 21 May 2013 04:25:11 -0500 Phorum 5.2.15a http://sla.ckers.org/forum/read.php?11,353,527#msg-527 http://sla.ckers.org/forum/read.php?11,353,527#msg-527

If you really need low power you might consider one of the low power VIA boards and a laptop hard drive, but it isn't a very robust solution. For cheap upfront costs just buy any old 1ghz or slower box off ebay, you can get old Cisco/Netranger IDS boxes for ~$200ish add a hard drive and you're set, that gear is made to be turned on 24/7 for years. (yes this box is one)... I'll post a pic sometime.

Might do better than that if you shop around, I was lucky and had the card, so my $180 guess was probably a bit low. Also I found one fully ready at http://www.netgate.com/product_info.php?products_id=209

If you just want it as a server though I don't think it is a good option, my goal was a quiet and very functional firewall, I wouldn't serve a website, mail or anything else that required lots of disk writes off of it since CF cards have limited writes before they die. (about 100k)

I could probably give you a better idea of what hardware to use if you tell me what kind of server you want.

A project I have been working on for a while now is to replace my firewall/bastion host/QoS/blah blah utility box with a low power replacement.

Currently it is a 233mhz box with 64mb of ram, it has a 200W power supply, but probably only draws 20ish watts on average.

The plan is to replace it with this:


At peak it draws 5W, and should average about 2-3W draw, it is 266mhz and has 128mb of ram. It will run OpenBSD, which my current firewall uses, but I am going to mount the filesystem in memory so I do fewer writes to the CF card.

It's also the reason I haven't written the pf guide yet, I am going to make some significant changes to my current setup... I'll of course post on it (and take more pictures) as I go. This weekend is a long one, I will try and work on it.
