Not to be hijacking the thread but UPS has been mentioned several times in this thread. Anyone know of any issues with getting used UPS does anyone know where I might be able to get one cheap, (VFXWeb doesn't have any on their site)?
Back on topic... Would there be a significant difference with a duel processor system than with a single one? For my IPCop system I've gone as far as removing the CD-ROM since I've heard that that can also drain power. What part of the computer would use the most power? The CPU? The power supply? The HDD? Also is there a big diffrence with older systems than with new ones?
