I've run a Koolu box for about 4 years. Claim is 15w only. Had a
built-in 80g IDE drive, now replaced with 320G. 4 USBs, Ethernet, video,
and sound. I run Lucid-server on it. Unfortunately, I don't think available.
I'd also be interested in results Martin finds, and suspect there must
be some boxes similar to the Koolu out there, possibly even as small as
a Raspberry Pi if one didn't need too much performance.

Hi,
I've been running a full-sized PC in a 2U rackmount case in my basement for
years and years and am finding that I no longer use it except as a file
server for movies and music and as a place to copy files for backup
purposes.
Can someone recommend a small machine that has:
1) ability to run linux (I think I'd prefer flash-based OS, with openWRT or
something similar)
2) either slots for two 3.5" disks or external connection ability
(USB/ESata) for data volumes, as I'd like to RAID-1 my data-holding disks
It could also be a wireless router / gateway / switch, but that isn't
mandatory since I have an ancient WRT54GS that still does the job quite
capably.
Thanks,
