These days, most households have enough media files on their PCs that they really need a separate PC just for storage. Having a media server or home server is also convenient because then everyone in the house can have access to the files. Movies can be streamed to the PC in the lounge room. Family photos can be viewed by anyone. MP3s can be streamed to the PC in the office. But leaving a PC on all day and night makes the environmentally concious consumer curl over in a knot. The blogger fea-nux found a solution in the VIA ARTiGO A2000.
"The past 8 months, it’s been working great as a home server. It has a very compact size, and Gigabit Ethernet is supported. "
"However, if you want a mail/web/ldap/sql server, along with a file server (NFS and Samba), the A2000 is nice because it doesn’t take up much power, so you can leave it on without feeling much guilt."
