I need a low per server to stick in my rack for ~150$
Raspberry Pi?
Or one of them little Android ones, then boot it with Debian or something.

Never seen that site before. Not bad little machines for that price.
You could probably find a sempron or even a core2duo to do the trick. An ATOM would use 0.3A (@mitgib ?) but they run $150 - $200 to start.

I bought http://www.ebay.com/itm/250879012903 to use as a monitoring/repo/nfs/munin/cacti server. A bit out of your price range though.
@Jack we built about 6 of those recently for around $195 each with 2GB Ram 80GB drives
@Jack I see - that is unfortunate.
0.35A and the SM board is $200, add ram/drive/case, $350ish? Go with a sempron or other clearance AM3 chip. If you'll take an AM2 chip, I have dozens you can choose from in SC-512 chassis/2gb ram/pair 80gb drives I'd be happy to sell for $150 shipped anyplace in the US
I think I will go with mitgib unless someone offers better.
CPU and ram are not an issue
Nope, it's a good offer. I think we gave away the E6600 we had sitting in the DC :P

This is replacing a HP G4. dl380
Ur crazy.
They are p4 xeons
Aren't the G7's the E3 models?
Any more offers?
Nope, You can pickup some old servers for pretty cheap on ebay.

Low power is what I need, too high and I will blow the breaker on my rack
Atoms.
AMD E350-E450.
Any Celeron/Pentium Dual core (Wolfdale).
Any i3 Sandy or i5 6xx clarkdale (dunno if i3 5xx works the same).
Anything else needs a nuclear plant.
What chip is it?
Hmm, have you ever seen any of these in an embedded motherboard? I have an E-240 in my laptop and it does fine for that, i'm sure it would be viable for a cheapy dedicated server.
@Jack over 1A, On 240v I highly doubt that.
Most HP Proliant servers have iLO, Which is similar to IPMI or DRAC.
Getting supermicro in the UK for a decent price is hard.
You mean, these are laptop processors? No, there are some mobos around with these chips.
lowendbox has hundreds of offers for way less than 150 per anything.
Purchase, not rent, PURCHASE.
And with the amount of crap I've taken out of service over the past years I still have cluttering up space...... It will be a nice surprise package
I recommend IPXCore for hosting. If you need to host a forum, look at mine
Insanely fast. IPXCore ftw.
Uhh what? Read the posts before posting..
Jeez, you guys just dont read, even the last post I made.
I colocate my servers...
Bought the servers from @miTgiB
Great guy
, I even messed up and he helped me correct it.
