One alternative approach is to consider virtualization. The equation then becomes: if you were willing to run a PC full time to support the music serving requirement, and you have another PC for some other regular, recurring workload, then virtualizing them and placing the both of them (or more, as the case my be) on a single system means you're actually paying half to power each.
While virtualization doesn't save power directly, it does let you aggregate workloads that traditionally would have been done by multiple PCs on to one, thereby allowing the power down of the second PC, third PC and so on, which does relate to power/cost/Earth savings. There are a few VMs pre-built for SqueezeCenter serving available today. http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/1207 http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/1208 -- forddonald ------------------------------------------------------------------------ forddonald's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11991 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=46780 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
