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.
TIA,
Jim.

Jim,
How about a Soekris Net4801 running AstLinux (or anything, for that matter)? The next version that I am working on can store all of the configuration and voicemail on a removable USB "key disk" and should be much smaller and cleaner. Should really be quite neat!
