[asterisk-users] OT - Which rackable case for mini-ITX boards ?

[--[ UxBoD ]--]

Gordon,

I have decided to ditch using Xen for Asterisk and build a separate server.  It will be used in the home office and this rack case looks great as I am going to get a small comms cabinet.  We will be using a TDM400P to bring PSTN to the server, plus we have a few SNOM M3 phones around the house and in our offices.

Would the CN1300 be capable for this ? and how much memory do you put in your servers ?  Is that case capable of taking two SATA drives which I can then mirror ? or do you save any VMs etc to a separate server ?

Regards,
