I would like to ask what people think the best way would be to build a low-power consumption, passively-cooled system.
For example,one could use a fanless-Eden (mini-ITX/EPIA) system, but the loss of FPU power would limit performance. The obvious choice for FPU work are the Intels and AMDs, nut they're all power-hungry radiators. Is there something that can offer the quiet, power-savings of the EPIA, but some sort of respectable math capabilities? Transmeta was into that game, but I'm not sure if that's any help. This might work: http://mini-itx.com/projects/cluster/ But it'd take up a lot of space and look rather ugly. Hmm. It wouldn't be the first ugly PBX . . . How about AMD's Geode. Anyone have any experiences? Where my mind is at is building a system that could live in a harsh environment (like a typical key system closet). Passively-cooled systems can be sealed up much easier, and having no moving parts makes them easier to ruggetize. This is just a brainstorm, so all thoughts are welcome.
