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

[Dean Collins]

Looks like an expensive way to do it - if power consumption is your
issue why not just go for one of the off the shelf asterisk appliance
solutions that are out there.

...of course this is my cue to recommend the Vdex-40
(http://www.taa.com/products-vdex-40.html) but seriously what advantages
are you getting over any of the asterisk appliances. 


Cheers,

Dean

If you're interested in the ALIX type boards, there is a reseller in 
Australia that offers a rack-mount option.  It's designed to house two 
of the boards, though it's not compulsorary.  See 
http://www.yawarra.com.au.  The products that would probably be of 
interest would be 
http://www.yawarra.com.au/product.php?productCode=HW-NT48-R and 
http://www.yawarra.com.au/product.php?productCode=HW-AX22-R.

Most Asterisk users would be more interested in the first option I'm 
guessing.  It's not the ALIX board - it's the net5501.  The reason it 
would most likely be of more interest is that it has a PCI slot 
available to it.

I'll add that I'm not affiliated with Yawarra in any way other than 
having been a satisfied customer in the past.  I must also add that 
whilst I've got an ALIX box myself, I /haven't/ used it as an Asterisk 
server - mine is a router.
