So these Viglen machines are recommended as low consumption options? <div class="gmail_quote">2009/4/9 Alan Lord (News) <<a href="mailto:alanslists@gmail.com">alanslists@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im">Alan Pope wrote: > 2009/4/9 javadayaz <<a href="mailto:javadayaz@gmail.com">javadayaz@gmail.com</a>>: >> i raised this topic of torrents and low powered green machines a while ago >> if anyone remembers! >> > > Indeed, and I'm also using another Viglen for doing exactly that.

My home server is based in a Jetway Mobo (with dual 100MB LAN i/f) and it has a VIA C7 processor and 1G of RAM. I stuck a 320MB HDD in the box when I built it. The whole thing draws about 15W from the plug. It runs Ubuntu Server, Our business telephone system on Asterisk, acts a development platform (Apache MySQL, PHP, SVN blah blah blah) and is left on 24/7. FYI I got the mobo from here: <a href="http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11212" target="_blank">http://linitx.com/viewproduct.php?prodid=11212</a> I bought a case and PSU from eBay IIRC (It's an InWIN box for uATX or smaller mobos) that cost about Ł15. It has been very reliable. And, oh yes, I down-clocked it from 1.2Ghz to 1Ghz. I could probably go lower but it makes little difference to power consumption.
