Hi Folks,
I have a need for a low power consumption linux box. Anyone using
something like this? I'm thinking some of the small "nettops" or
mini-itx boxes. I've googled a bit, but if anyone has direct
experience with this sort of thing, input would be appreciated so I
don't re-invent the wheel.
Something like this would be nice...

or this:

Has anyone been down this road before? I would like low power
consumption so that it can run on a UPS for a long time for its
intended use. Doesn't need much drive space (compacFlash or SSD is
fine). It will basically serve as a network device to jump off to
other devices. Think like your typical home linux NAT router or
something along those lines.
Anyone have any product suggestions? Tips?
Thanks,
Shannon

I built a box based on an AMD 785G chipset. See for reference:

Combine a 785G motherboard with one of AMD's low power cpus:

and an energy efficient 80 Plus Gold certified power supply:

I just happen to like AMD. You could easily do the same with an Intel
rig. I think AMD currently enjoys a slight advantage in cost.
