Most chassis based systems are power hungry. One good thing about the MX104 is that it's very shallow to rackmount. This along with it's ability to operate in hardened/rugged environments makes it great for cellular/remote POPs/locations. It also comes with both AC and DC power options. The current PPC based RE leaves a bit to be desired, but I believe a new x86 based RE is coming in Q1/Q2 this year.
