A basic server for under $100
If your looking for a second computer to run some basic tasks around the house like a small web server or a file server and don’t want to hack your way into a Slug box then look no further than this compact system from Data Evolution Corporation.
The decTOP computer system comes with 128MB of RAM, a 10GB hard drive (both of which are upgradeable), and is powered by a 333MHz AMD processor. If your looking for a rendering machine or cluster node this isn’t for you but it’s more than powerful enough to run a firewall appliance or a file server for the home. It’s got built in VGA, Ethernet, USB, and even has audio.
This bad boy comes without an OS on it but this simple tutorial shows you how to slap Ubuntu on it. Best of all, you can pick this puppy up for $99
