Hardware

It wasn't  hard to find a fitting hardware. Except the search for the right power supply was a little bit tricky. The important things were that the box is silent and enery-saving. So I took a fanless Mini-ITX mainboard, an external power supply. I had a 2,5" harddisk laying around and took this one instead of a solid state disk. For OS installation I temporarily connected a CD-ROM drive.

Because I didn't want to buy a case for a box that only stands under my table, I build the hardware in an old satellite receiver case.
