This case turned out to be a little bit bigger than I expected, but it still fit in the space I had allotted for it, so no worries. Other than that, putting the front face back on after installing the components was a bit of a challenge, but I think I was just having a slow moment (note: I didn’t read directions until after I had finished getting it together. If I had, it would have clearly pointed out what I should have been doing). I ended up putting a piece of electrical tape over the LED on the front because it was so bright, but that’s been true with every case I’ve bought in the past decade. I bought this to run a light duty web server and quasselcore. It does both perfectly. I had no trouble installing sidux [...]so no complaints.

I came across this little computer when looking for a web server for a church of a little under a 1000 members. Having a dedicated server rather then renting hosting allows for a much richer set of capabilities. Since this setup only draws about 30 watts it is cheaper too.
This is the setup.
*2 gig ram
*2 – 500 gig green hard drives (the second drive is installed with an adapter kit in the DVD drive bay.)
*Ubuntu server hosting Durpal
Daily backups are automatic using Rdiff-backup backing up everyday to the second hard drive. Rdiff just backs up changes while compressing and saving the previous changes. This allows daily changes to the web page to be saved for years with out having to delete any.
After installing the operating system and setting up the network everything else can be done remotely. This leaves the Wind connected to just power and an Ethernet cable so it can be put in a closet or basement. The bios is set to reboot automatically after a power failure which it has done without problems. It runs cool and quite when set in the provided cradle with the cooling vents down.
