This review is from: SUPERMICRO SYS-5015A-H 1U Intel Atom 330 Dual-Core 1.6GHz Dual Gigabit LAN Server Barebone
Pros:
Small, quiet low power consumption as many others have said.
Dual-core + HyperThreading allows for slightly better performance on windows.
passive cooling is quiet, and fairly effective.
Cons:
Expansion slot/riser slot is not very friendly for use, also wish that it came with either a riser card, or the 2.5" HDD bracket.
2 gig of ram limiting, but not the end of the world.
Overall Review:
I own two of them currently, one is being used as my pfsense firewall/router and the other is running Server 2k3 with MySQL, Apache, and Sharepoint. It is pretty snappy, and boot time is pretty low for only 2 gigs of ram. All in all it works great for what I use it for. Handles sharepoint nicely.
Looking at buying a few more after the new year.
