Both these system make an ideal base for a Windows Home Server or Linux solution. Read on for all the specs and an Exclusive Offer for Automated Home readers.
The motherboard in the barebones system is the Gigabyte GA-6KIEH mini-ITX, which has a socket P, which can take Intel Penryn/Merom/Celeron M500 series processors. The board also has 2 DDRII slots, each of which can take 2GB of memory. Onboard the Silicon Image Sil 3114 provides RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 for the 4 SATA ports. Dual Intel Gigabit NICs provide high speed network access, making this an ideal NAS box. As this is a barebones system, you would need to add a CPU, memory and drives.

A mini-PCI port is also available for additional add-in cards. If you need to add additional storage 4 x USB2.0 ports are also available. Operating systems supported include: Windows Server 2003/2007, Windows Home Server and Linux. This server includes the motherboard, VIA 1.5 GHz CPU, and 512MB of DDRII.
