Re: [sudo-discuss] seeking an energy-efficient, reliable PC with 2+ ethernet

There was also a J1800 in the basement, but I understand it has been moved, but hopefully not thrown away. I think there are 5 boxen in the public area on the second floor, but I've never seen more than 3 of them in use at any one time & I can replace them in any case once the Omni opens up again. If you prefer a mini computer I retired a ZBOX-CI323NANO box as my local server last month and replaced it with a newer mini box celeron computer. The ZBOX is currently my kennel computer, which is convenient, because that is where I'm living these days, since Einstein can't handle the stairs anymore, but I have other machines I can use instead. It was reliable, but has about 5 years of always-on history. It has 2 ethernet ports and 8 Gb of DDR3-L and I can throw in a SSD. https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/zbox-ci323-nano#spec https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-Celeron-N3150-vs-Intel-Celeron-J… These options are all 5-6 years old, I don't know if that qualifies as decently modern.
