[ale] NUC vs. RPi mail server

[Dustin Strickland]

More expensive than the RasPi(Just picked one up on eBay for $90 with an
acrylic case and adapter) but the Radxa Rock Pro would be a good
contender for a medium-volume mail server. With a USB to SATA adapter,
you'd be good to go. Gigabit ethernet has been brought up in this thread
but I doubt you'd have this hooked up to anything faster than a 100mbps
uplink. Quad core ARM @ 1.6GHz, 2GB LPDDR3 @ 800MHz (Plus 8GB NAND),
plenty of power to run spam filters and whatnot. Much lower power draw
than a P2 for sure, and you'd have it paid off in 5 months vs. leasing a
VPS to run your server on.
