Hi,

There is already write a lot about domotica home servers but because the development on the hardware levels never stops.
I want to know the opinion about to use a EEE notepad (laptop) for a domotica server.
I like to hear it.

Not a bad option, but you can also use a fit PC and save more ennergy

See the link for the specifications:

Even though its ok to use it, i would rather say no. There are better sollutions. If you are purely going to use it anyway for domotica, why get a laptop?

I dont know the price range but i am using a asrock 3d now, works fine. I think the 330 from asrock would also be sufficient.

Hi
(First i think i have write this topic in the wrong menu sorry about this )

But I am a little in doubt between the next point i have at htis moment a Asus EEE Box B202 (2x1,6Ghz/1Gb Ram) Runnig in XP but the system is a little bit crasht so i want to rebuild it.
Now i want to going to a Windows 7 OS but i'm a little bit in doubt if this is normal running for HS on a EEE box or must i'm going to a other system with a bigger processor.

And because the laptop's have a quicker processor overhaul in place of the Little mini pc's i comming with this question.
