What's the best cheap (under $400) server for Linux?

1 Answer

Answer :

Any recent,decent laptop with a broken screen! Pick one up cheap in eBay, or advertise locally. Ideal for 24/7 use, low power and quiet too! If you want to use is as your internet firewall/router, pick up a cheap PCMCIA ethernet card as well. If it needs more storage, add a USB external drive. Works for me.
