I have 2 a model b 512mb and a model a.  you may have noticed the help 
I have asked for apache, which I am using as a custom NAS box - 
downloader with aria2, minidlna, auto backup desktop with WOL in a cron 
job at night. Then web services owncloud, gallery3 and starting elgg. It 
only will have immediate family using it, so can cope with the sluggish 
behaviour. I have played around with other services like bittorrent sync 
but found the above suitable for our needs. The model A I am playing 
with making a bird camera at the moment, don't know if that will be the 
final thing it will be doing.  I am trying to get cheap webcam to use 
motion for detection then use camera module to take 5mp image then 
record HD film to log in a database for son to find what the bird types 
are.

They are good, but I may have bought beaglebone for webserver if doing 
it again. If you have the money the udoo looks good, but at that price 
is it better to get a microserver?
