Hey guys,



Right now I am using housebot that runs everything else on my htpc. Its works fine but i would like to move housebot to a dedicated machine.



Does anyone have any suggestions for a case/cpu/ps combo that I can use? I am looking for something that is small, silent, and cheap :). It doenst have to be powerful cause it will most likely be used as a housebot server exclusively.



Any tips would be great.

cheers.

small simple and cheap when it comes to computers are almost mutually exclusive. To run Housebot standalone on a dedicated PC doesn't requires much of anything. A 2 GHz Celeron is overkill. The best bet would be something based on a MicroATX all in one motherboard(with LAN) 256 MB memory and a small 30-40GB hard drive. There are some rather nice looking microATX cases that won't break a budget.
