I'm looking for a (15 dBA or below whisper) silent ultra-low power usage (less than 20 Watts) server. It will be used as an xhtml/css personal website server and "bittorrent seeder" of a file that won't grow more than 1.5 GB. It has to have at least 10/100 ethernet and WiFi.
For the future I was thinking of using it as a "frontend" for a bigger server so that the IP don't change (...for the domain) to seed more files.
give it a decent amount of ram and I think it should work fine even at the lowest 533mhz speed.
Thanks. I never knew RAM was so important even for a nano-server. Maybe with 1 GB upgradable to 3 GB

I will design and code a user interface for Linux/*BSD. Most code will be inherited from many FOSS projects (mainly: OpenGL, Cairo, Xgl). I want to improve in some way the way user interfaces are designed and for that I don't have to code everything.
At least one file of 600 MB will have to be uploaded periodically in a server... I've a 128/64 kbps conection (soon it will be 256/128 kbps) and even with an affordable and decent host it will take simply too much time to even bother. For this case it's better to set up a nano-server and simply replace the file locally and distribute it via bittorrent.
Also for the fun of setting up one tiny server

ram is very important (in my opinion more so then cpu speed) but I was thinking 512Mb 1G is more then enough. btw my torrent box is an old P1 175Mhz with 256Mb of ram. 20Gb HDD runing ubuntu (no X just bittorrent and sshd.)

Yes, when I set up the server it will be similar.
(when I get a new main PC) I can reutilize:
512 MB of DDR 333 RAM
dl dvd-rw drive
80 GB 7200 ATA hd
nVidia GeForce MX 4000 (...probably disconected from the motherboard 98% of the time)
and buy:
AMD Geode NX Processor 1750
PC CHIPS M863G
