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

[Michael Graves]

For a couple of years I used a Soekris Net4801 as an Astlinux host. It
features a 266 MHz Geode CPU. That system was able to sucessfully
transcode only two G.729 encoded calls at a time. Since moving to the 1
GHz host I've not bothered to try and overtax the transcode capability
as it does as much as I need. I expect that it would handle 6-8
transcodes at a time, which is more than I need.

Bear in mind that you may not need to transcode very often. If you're
using primarily the PSTN through the TDM400p then why bother with G.729
at all?
