Hello,

The wiki site in: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Core recommends a high performance machine, even if not using it is a hybrid, mainly to store and serve media data.
I am looking to set up a core that will mainly control appliances (via zwave) and will not store or serve any media (no tv card, video files, or audio). Ideally it would be small, portable and inexpensive.

What is the recommended hardware to set up such a core?

Regards,
Avner
