Hello misc@,
Hi,
Currently I have an old desktop PC running as a home server/media
center, which runs OpenBSD. Most of the time it's idling, but does run
(open)ssh/(open)smtp/imap(dovecot)/http(nginx/apache
+subversion)/minidnla, which I want to keep available.
Is there any board/device known which can support these requirements
and
is fully (within the requirements) supported by OpenBSD?
As a personal preference I would avoid using ARM boards and would try to
go with x86/amd64 boards instead. I don't know how well those ARM
devices are supported on OpenBSD (I have only a little experince with
running Linux on those), but the performance was pretty
disappointing(with Linux). *I* would decide for the APU from pcengines.

I haven't used these either but they are x86/amd64 and well supported
with OpenBSD as a lot of devs use them. I can not say anything about the
performance, but I would *assume* they have at least the same
performance as your mentioned pandaboard (if not better) and probably
cost the same.
I use an HP Microserver N54L for the same purpose. It is roughly the
same price but probably doesn't fit your power consumption requirements
(roughly 40 Watts with 2 drives)
Sincerely,
Martijn van Duren
Have a nice day
