Hi all, I am looking for 2 recommendations for a very reliable mini PC/server, to run openBSD on, with very limited physical access.
criteria for computer 1: - $1200 ballpark - very little/no noise - small form factor (say 15 cm x 15 cm x 15 cm) - low power consumption - no high performance requirement (can be slow CPU / ram / write) - 24/7 run with max reliability - integrated UPS, remote bios management would be a huge plus, though I can add that separately - no high storage requirement criteria for computer 2: - all the same except I need 2 TB storage, and price can go up to $1500 (to accommodate for the storage cost) I have been pretty unsuccessful so far. I bought a new Asus PN42, but it died on me after about a year. It is a fanless design, the SSD died on me (probably overheat). After SSD replacement, I actually added a fan, and it died again (I don't know why yet). Have I just been unlucky with the PN42, and I should give it a second chance? Any other recommendation? Thanks!
