Bellman is a Mini-ITX server / desktop
It functions as a server, but also has an LCD monitor / keyboard / mouse so it can function as a desktop / web browser machine as well. It is on a UPS and lives in my lab. Since it's always on (it's answering my phones for me), it's a handy place to quickly check email or surf the web.
Phones: Bellman runs Asterisk so it handles my home phones 100% now (no more Packet8 crutch. I reprogrammed by Packet8 DTA and now it is part of the Asterisk system.)
Media server: it hosts my music collection.
Files: I keep my home directory here and NFS mount it on the desktop machine 8track.
Software:
Ubuntu Hardy Heron, the desktop install, with lots of added packages like Asterisk and Apache and MySQL and Samba to give it the full range of server functions.
Hardware:
- Via C7 processor
- 1 GB of RAM
- Case: brand name?? need to look it up. Cost about $50 250W power supply
- "Green" WD Caviar 500 GB drive. It's only 5400 rpm but seems just fine for me.
- CD RW drive - I am now using this system to RIP my CD collection. Sound Juicer (which comes with Ubuntu) works quite well once you install the libraries to allow it to encode to MP3.
Bellman used to be an Athlon desktop system, I recycled the name because I like it.
CN10000 mainboard
I bought the CN10000EG fanless C7 board and the Morex power supply from Logic Supply. It took them three tries to get the right wires send out for the power supply but they were nice about it. I got my EPIA mainboard from them, too.
