Are one of these a typo? It uses almost 10 watts less with gig-e on? Great setup. I'm definately going with that case but still leaning toward a 740g mini-itx that I hope delivers the same or lower power usage. Hope to lower it even more if I ever determine whether these Jetways have underclock/undervolt BIOS options. I'm amazed how low the power usage is with an e8400 that's not downclocked.

The GA-MA74GM-S2 looks like a nice board. It's more than half the price of the other 740G's I've been eyeing. The only problem is it's not mini-ITX which is a must for the Chenbro ES34069 I've fallen in love with. I agree that undervolting/underclocking is the way to go. Difficult, if not impossible, to find in these mini-ITX platforms though.

Romir, are there any undervolt options in the bios? I'm interested in the setup but that's more power than I would need. Undervolting would yield even lower power consumption, a feature worthy of me copying your h/w.
