Does somebody use both, current Intel and AMD tower PCs?

Hi Liam,

It's just a very low power server for email and file storage for myself
and my son. Plus an extremely rudimentary web site that I use for
documenting stuff for myself that might be of use to others. Plus it
runs motion to monitor a single PoE security camera.

The processor is a Celeron N2930, enough for me and I got two boards
GBP60 each, surplus price :)

I have time to experiment with things so I'm just asking because
playing around with different stuff can be interesting. So long as it's
not expensive hardware! The current HDD is heading for 26,000 hours
with 16 power cycles and the system seems to not need much attention
apart from updates and tweaks to the postfix filters.

Indeed, I made my own case something like 15 years ago, mobo upgraded a
couple of times and getting excellent reliability.
