Title: Low-cost, compact SME hardware platform
Post by: kevincallan on June 01, 2010, 06:20:10 PM
I typically install SME on a new or used PC.  Recently, I've been shopping for a new hardware setup.  I want two instances of SME running on two servers to provide primary storage and backup storage (using SME's backup feature).  The general purpose computers that I would buy would cost me around $350 each.  Since I want server-only mode, I wondered if I could use the Western Digital My World (http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Network-Attached-WDH1NC10000N/dp/B001RB1QWW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275408527&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Network-Attached-WDH1NC10000N/dp/B001RB1QWW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275408527&sr=8-1)) platform to load and run SME.  Has anybody thought about doing this or actually done it?  The entry-level, 1TB version is $149!

no, you can't, as it's not a i386 cpu
