Subject: Re: Low-cost dedicated FreeBSD server or non-jail VPS? If you don't mind the lack of vidio (serial connection or network) then maybe one of these babies might be for you. I want to experement with one with a pci or better slot for a full home server for off the grid homes. Most of these boxes use less than 5 watts total.
