<DIV>Tim, I just recently tried something off-beat, and not for everyone. I have
in the past used D945 Intel boards in a Mini M200 case with a CPU blower and a
case side blower. But you have to get decent fans, most of the stuff out there
will expire quickly and you get overheating and shutdown. I have node 2360
running on one of these with Limey on it, no problems after I changed the fans.
Also the right pico power supply is necessary. There are a couple of models that
make the 12 volts. Most seems to pass the 12V along from the outside power
supply. If that wiggles a bit low, the CPU power source goes bonkers and you
have a lockup/shut down, etc. But the ones that have not only wide input but
down to 6V are the ones to get. They just run and run and very cool.</DIV>

<DIV>OK, that all said, background, I linked two sites using something called
DRIL, adapted from openh323 by Armadillo in Texas. Worked ok, but a CPU killer,
ran at 100% always. Built on a WYSE/Netier thin client box. Then I
discovered Allstar and the above setup. But I recently saw a WYSE thin client on
eBay in a nice package. Has 128MB od flash drive and I stuck a gig of ram in,
made a version of Limey to run it and tried it and it was great. Going to modify
my node to it sooner or later. Cost? $15, including power supply and a very nice
small package. Two nodes in it? CPU a bit small. DSP audio? Probably not.
Didn’t even try. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Buy all new stuff? I’d go with one of the Intel 2500 boards a M200 case ans
a PicoPSU60WI flash module and Limey. </DIV>

looking for a good mini ITX solution for Asterisk/app_rpt. I had been using
Intel D525 CPU/motherboard but those are getting hard to find. What’s a good
motherboard/CPU combo for Linux these days?<BR>
