Re: PC for HA 24/7



I've had a hush mini-itx for a couple of years or so. The only things
to bear in mind are:
- they are probably on the limit for heat in terms of what they can handle.
So don't put one in a cupboard or any other place with
limited airflow
- you can't reliably expand them...do anything to it (like using the PCI
slot) and you may suffer from heat &/or power problems
- obviously you have horsepower limitations, as with any mini-itx

If you can live with the above, then they work well.
