Thanks GH.

I guess you're right regarding the use of standard PSUs. Will keep that in mind. Though I was thinking along the lines of using an external PSU block + internal DC-DC converter as shown, with a chassis to go with it.



I can probably do something about the cpu hsf... maybe changing it out to a bigger heat sink without a fan. Average CPU utilization would most likely be no more than 20%, so heat dissipation would be minimal anyway.

Btw, the server will be running ClarkConnect. It's a Linux-based router software with all the features I need. Graphics acceleration is irrelevant because it will be headless.
