Hi Folks,

I've been using Ubuntu for a server environment for many years. My server has been running a mail, DNS and web server for about 50 domains. I've recently gotten out of the headaches of this particular hobby activity and now want to just run a mail, dns and web server for family stuff.

Where I'm headed is this. I currently have an old IBM Netfinity Dual Xeon, running Ubuntu 7.something. I don't need this noisy power hog anymore. What I want to do is have some tiny ubuntu enabled Apple-mini sized box that takes up no space, makes no noise and runs ubuntu so I can continue my minor bandwidth usage for family domain hosting.

So, question, does somebody make something prepackaged like that? or can someone steer me in the right direction to an ultra small form factor case/mobo combination?

Just wondering...

Thanks!

The ZaReason Breeze 3110 sounds like a good idea too.

Thanks for the replies. That FitPC is an ultra tiny form factor, for sure! I'll update on what I'm doing.

Thanks!

The eeebox looks interesting.
