I like Green power supplies which vary their draw according to the load in
addition to the VIA type ITX or mini-ITX mobo/cpu combos.

Many of the VIA mini-ITX boards are oriented to media applications so you
may get features you don't need on a server. The pico-ITX form factor may be
too small and increase system cost, SODIMM RAM for instance.

You like RAID. VIA now does RAID.

Re-read what I wrore... Let me answer some more things...

   Wireshark didn't log anything... Of course not, the switch was the 
problem, not the nics. Although Wireshark (old Ehtereal) looks real 
nice... Want to impress some non-geek, have Wireshark running when they 
come over...

    Also, any recomendations on a low resource computer (low power 
consumption, etc.)? It must be able to run Apache, Postgresql, and tcl. 
I'm seriously looking at powering off the Dell Poweredge 2500 and going 
green with a low power computer once the volunteer database moves to the 
colo or warehouse machine.

    In moving stuff around today I placed the Cable modem, DSL/Router, 
lcd monitor and the KVM wal wart on the 650va ups and everything else 
goes onto reg 110 volt. The Dell poweredge 2500 requires a minimum of a 
1000va ups with a 1500va prefered. Once the volunteer database moves I 
only have my emwin stuff running and it does not need a big horsepower 
box like this.

   I'm thinking one of those ITX based computers or smaller, probably a 
1g cpu and 256mb would probably do me plenty good.

   Any suggestions?

   Thanks....
