Mini ITX project(s) at home
Caseoutlet.com has ITX cases that look good enough to update the home server I’ve been running out of an old Sony receiver chassis. Depending on the layout that I can make of the security cameras to install in the new house, I’ll decide where the controlling server will go. I purchased from NewEgg a new MiniITX board for this project, which has a CompactFlash slot, and also from a company called tranquilPC (in the UK) I bought a PCI card raiser. With these I’m all set to a caseless system that may be installed in the attic if the wiring from the cameras needs to be kept to a minimum (which I suspect). 50 feet seems to be the maximum recommended length for these cable runs.
