I've managed to get STN to work on a Compaq 466/M, which is a power hog and
fairly large, loud and hot (even with the hard drive removed). I've not
managed to get it to boot with the innards moved to a Dell Optiplex 466, a
lower profile and power consumption machine.
My only hesitancy in committing to an STN setup vs. spending for a complete
hardware solution using one of the new ADSL routers coming out, is the
efficiency of the setup: I need only one box and power supply for an ADSL
router/hub setup, vs. three for an STN setup (PC + ADSL Modem + Hub).
Does anyone have pointers for using STN with a "motherboard on a chip"
designs or at least those that don't come with a noisy, hungry and hot
power supply? Looking at the prices for Pentium motherboards, it would seem
there should be a software/hardware STN solution to fit in a small and
economical box?
