At any rate, I recently acquired a rackmount cabinet, and I'd like to 
get something I can mount in it as opposed to just sitting a Mini-ITX 
case on a shelf; there are Mini-ITX rackmount cases, but they're 
expensive, and for the price I could buy a small standard ATX rackmount 
box and a low-end mobo/cpu combo.

Which brings me to my next question...if I'm looking for low cost and 
high power/heat efficiency, which CPU that goes with a standard ATX 
motherboard would one recommend?

Thanks,

-C

&gt; Have you checked with hdparm your disk throughput?  I am curious too 
&gt; as to why you are having performance issues.  Is it disk or is it CPU 
&gt; related?
