Hi list :)
As many of you may be aware, I run my own home server. It does everything from backing up, firewalling, filesharing (intranet), print support, ICS, web development ( PHP, MySQL, Apache etc... nothing major ) and the list goes on...
The problem was and is that I am using antiquated hardware ( P1 and the likes ) and its giving me a hard time now. The hardware is about 10 years old and its time that it rests peacefully.
So, now I want to replace it with a nice power efficient, low to about average processing power machine. The major constraints being that it should run cool and must be cost effective. I know that VIA processors are some of the best when it comes to power efficiency. They also make small boards ( ITX? ) which have smaller formfactor than the regular uATX boards. So can someone suggest me a config which will cost about Rs.5000 for CPU / Motherboard / RAM ( 256MB ) and may be a harddisk to go with it? I know its difficult but is anything possible which comes close to my requirements? Atleast point me in the right direction, I'll search out my goal ;)
One last thing, it should be available in India, specifically on Lamington road :P
TIA :)

Via cle266 3000/- ram 1400/- disk 2400 ~ 3800.
That is the lowest u will get. that is my present office setup and works quite well except for kernel compiles (with x running) which takes quite some time.
If u want performance it's AMD beats the pants of Intel.

Dr. Nagarjun had showed us a small web server that looks like a modem and has a built-in slim hdd.

kem cho Dinesh bhai. I have one mini board from via and may be you will like to habve a look? it causts rs 3000 and comes with a 233 mhz processor. you can put ddr ram in it so good uptime performance. I think it caust 1400. and will should you go for a 40 g hdd it will come for 2000/-. if that satisfies you. then you can have a look. Krishnakant.

Yes, I would like to take a look at it. How old is it? What is the model no? Does it come with a case? A 80G harddisk now costs ~2500 bucks. So no point spending 2000 on half the capacity disk! :P
