rent an atom server I have an MSI atom (IIRC it's an atom 270) board with 1
gig of memory, dual lan ports, dvi, vga, and 4 usb ports. It doesn't have
any hard drives but would hold 5 hard drives. I'll have to check my power
supply stock to see what I've got and test the board. It's been sitting in
the closet for a while. If you're interested I'll check it out and the
price is right -- trust me. Working as it sits with no power or drives
paying for the shipping will get the box.
