Hi,

I'm looking to build an Asterisk box that can run at a remote
location. Here are most of the specs of what I'm looking for:

Physical hardware

    * Small pre-built PC (not buying board, case, all parts separately)
    * Low power consumption
    * No fan or very small fan
    * Hard drive (not flash memory)

Capabilities/capacity

    * No GUI, no X
    * Register to multiple SIP servers
    * There will be no PSTN
    * No analog phones
    * Small number of SIP devices will register - maybe 10 max
    * Three simultaneous channels active
    * Skype for Asterisk needs to run on this <- so this means x86, right?

Recommendations wanted

    * What hardware
    * What distro
    * Which Asterisk version

Comments and suggestions welcome. This is going to be discussed on VUC
as well, so if you're comfortable with it, come on by: http://vuc.me

Thanks in advance,

/r
