Hello,
I have decided to buy a MSI Barebone Axis 700 with an Via C7 1000Mhz
processor. The processor correspond with a Celeron ~800 Mhz I think.
This is enough for the little filesever.
E. g. at home I run for my own an old Pentium III with 500 Mhz as
fileserver, firewall, httpd and squid proxy without problems. So a newer
Via C7 should have more performace as my server. I think it´s still a
good idea to buy a Via.
