I just plugged my server (music and mail) into a Kill A Watt power monitor, and it's running at a fairly steady 115 watts power consumption. That's without the monitor, which I usually keep turned off. That PC is a few years old, with an AMD K4 CPU, 2 gigs of RAM, and a couple of hard drives. I'd be interested to compare the power consumption of a typical NAS. -- Bill Burns Long Island NY USA http://ftldesign.com _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
