I'm hoping to use UT in my home. Currently I have the following devices:
1. Dual boot (XP/Ubuntu) Desktop
2. iMac
3. GOS EeePC
4. PS3
5. Wii
6. iPod Touch
7. Work Laptop (XP) mostly tunnelled into work via VPN
I want to log and control my sons access in terms of time and content and UT does, I think, exactly what I want.
I had hoped to use one of a couple of old box's as my UT install, however a combination of unsupported hardware and 2 years storage in the roof have meant this is not an option.
Kindly the responses to other posts have guided me to the following conclusions,
Buying a second hand server from eBay is not a good idea as the sort of hardware available cheaply is old, too powerful and possibly incompatible, therefore I will build my own?
Reading a series of posts about the specifications necessary for this small deployment, without any heavyweight modules leads me to the following idea, on which I'd appreciiate some guidance, suggestions and feedback
Motherboard: Jetway J7F4 fanless Via C7 1.2Ghz Processor
RAM: 1GB DDR2
Ethernet: 2x Gigabit Realtek RTL8110SC in built
SATA HDD: c. 80GB what would be best spec and the MOBO supports Raid0/1?
Case: TBC
Questions:
1. Does this have the horsepower to do what I want
2. Best spec and configuration for HDD
Target price would be c. £200 built
