Steve, There is a _good_ reason to ask too. I've been experimenting I buy new equipment but I'm still looking to reduce power, heat, noise and space to the bare minimum. No need to buy a CPU that burns 120W of power if you can use a one that uses 45W and lets you get rid of one of the fans. Same with disk drives. More RAM might let you use a low noise/low heat drive rather then that 7200RM noise maker. I'd like to be able to install a notebook sized drive on the * server. For a big installation everything lives in the server room but in a home or very small office it's on the desk or under it where every cubic inch and decibel matters. Plus you know what it costs to run a PC 24x7? We pay 25 cents/KWH. 100W of saving adds up over a year's time. In enginerring, "how small, how light how cheap, can I make this thin?" are good questions to ask ===== Chris Albertson Home: 310-376-1029 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 310-990-7550 Office: 310-336-5189 [EMAIL PROTECTED] KG6OMK __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
