May 23, 200818 yr I'm pondering building something out of one of the low-power boards, such as: http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/acatalog/Motherboards.html My goal is to try and get a low of standby power usage as possible. So, maybe Mini-ITX board with a PCI Sata card (to get 4 sata ports total). Any other ideas for low power stuff? Just use regular board with low voltage celeron?
May 23, 200818 yr Search the forums for ITX, and you'll get a number of other threads concerning ITX-type boards and low power ideas.
May 23, 200818 yr I built one (actually 2) Search the forums and see my hyperlink at the bottom. How low power are you expecting though? I could not get under 40 watts, then again, I choose beefier processors. The jetway was an AMD Geode 1.8ghz, The MSI is a duo core 2 2.33. You may have an issue with that lan port so be prepared to recompile the kernel and create a new bzroot. -- 1x LAN 10/100MBit (Realtek) -- More info here http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/general-hardware-discussion/120072-intel-d945gclf-integrated-atom-1-6ghz-cpu.html http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/atom-powered-d945gclf-mini-itx-motherboard-now-available/
