Hello all, Recently my little home server (Asus bare-bones kit PC that I bought used a year + back, Sempron 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 13.7GB HD + two 500GB SATA drives, CD/DVD-ROM) took a dump. It's in the local PC shop, but I fear the MB may be done for. As such... I'm considering options. One may be if the shop has or can get for a reasonable price replacement parts. If not, I may be shopping CraigsList for another old mid-tower PC again.
In the past (6-8yrs ago) I had pretty good luck with some Dell refurbished workstations... so I started wondering if maybe their refurbished low-end servers might be a better idea than a run-of-the-mill desktop PC pressed into server duty. Given that the load is extremely *low* (primarily backup file storage server for 2-4 people) in this situation, I'm more just interested in the hardware lasting a good long while without having replace parts and/or the computer for the forseeable future. Any experience or comments on the matter?
