I suggest: mini-tower / half-tower AMD 4 core processor with virtualization facility (AMD are cheaper than Intel in Europe) (if buying Intel get the virtualization facility) 8 GB RAM motherboard with PCI Express and 1 or 2 older pci slots 4 SATA (and 2 PATA (ISA) for any old drives*) USB 2 or even USB 3 Ethernet controller sound chips DVD writer 500 GB SATA HDD HDD caddy for easy removal of the HDD * Some ASRock motherboard have it The cheapest source is likely to be found on-line by Googling or looking at a major web buying site. Good luck. -- With best regards, Paul. England, EU. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
