Same as here...

Since I have enough from France, I am building since last year eight
Mobil-Homes/Offices (based on a 20 feet container but 10 feet wide
instead of 8'12") and each is powered by 20 Solarmodules (2600 Wp, 24V)
> thinking about something like via c7 1.2-1.5 Ghz with 1-2 GB RAM
I am testing currenty a VIA EPIA LN10000EAG with 1 GByte of Memory, a
3Ware 3W8500S-8LP and three Hitachi E5K160 60GB in Raid-1 with Hotfix
for the OS and (currently) four WD Raptor WD360 in Raid-5 with Hotfix
for the Maildir.
I like to change the last 4 drives against the same type like the first
ones since they are the smalest and for a Mailserver I do not need more
storage... Also the 4 Raptor consuming over 60 Watt and four E5K160
maximum 24 Watt together.

I think, for a small Enterprise like mine or your project, the VIA CPU's
are the right ones...
Even my new Workstation is a LN10000EAG (1GHz with 1 GByte of memory)
and it works quiet well... Consuming only arround 16 Watt plus 27 Watt
for my 15" LiteOn K15An (from which I have removed the AC PSU and added
a selfmade 24V DC converter thanks to Dallas/Maxim and Philips/NXP
which have send me free samples of the required chips...)
Note: The 15" TFT was consuming arround 86 Watt by 230V AC and now with
the 24V DC-PSU it is only arround 28 Watt. Please consider this
as important
But there is one Flaw with the E5K160 60 GByte, since even Hitachi is
continuing to manufacturer this drive (It cost only arround 42,50 Euro in
Germany), I have problems to get it here... :-( and I need at least
80 Drives of this type...
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
