Hi guys,

I am looking for an as small as possible cabinet for a server. The requirements are as follows:


Can take one 3.5" HD
Low power
Nano ITX, Pico ITX or similarly smallish
Capable of either N wi-fi or can take an adapter for such
Has at least two ethernet ports or can take an adapter for such
Preferably cheap


Basically I'm thinking of something like a Fit-PC, but with the above specs. It's not difficult to find a cabinet that can do this, the trouble is finding one that is small and can do it.

My google-fu isn't up to this. I don't think I'm searching on the right keywords. Any help much appreciated.

:o

I don't have an answer for you but I'm curious of your project? Care to share more details?

Well, a couple of my friends are trying to make an open source software package for something a little smarter than you average router, but a lot easier to use than the usual home server. And as I said it's not difficult to find a case for such a computer. But it would be cool if we could find something a little more sexy.
