Check out the twins

Aww, so cute! Laughing

Built two identical systems, which are being put through the paces to be eventually used for some hosting.

Other than the color, they are identical, with:

Intel D510MO Mini-ITX Motherboard: http://www.mini-box.com/D510MO-mini-ITX-Intel
Seagate Momentus XT 500GB Hybrid Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591
Kingston 2GB (2x 1GB) PC2-6400 CAS 6 DDR2: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134487
Mini-Box M350 case: http://www.mini-box.com/M350-universal-mini-itx-enclosure
Mini-Box PicoPSU 80W power supply and external power brick: http://www.mini-box.com/picoPSU-80?sc=8&category=981

Nearly solid state - only the traditional portion of the drive is moving. May add some fans though, but right now they are 100% passively cooled.

Decent power for hosting... The Atom CPU may be only 1.66GHz, but is dual core and has hyper-threading so there are four logical processors to use.

At full power each uses around 30W (20W at idle), so only about a 1/2A draw combined.

And, there small enough to hide anywhere, or fit both into a single rack space.

Not the kind of twins I was wanting to see... *snicker*

BOO! I agree with Hellfire, but nice nonetheless

Jason, how would that Momentus drive stack up against a 3.5" Caviar Black? I know it beat a 5,400 RPM drive but what about a 7,200 RPM one?
