I'd be interested in a 1U form factor as well, or a 1U that held two machine, I've seen some around but they were way overpriced for what they were selling you.

    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...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856119032

    or this:

    http://www.hacom.net/catalog/openbrick-e-intel-600mhz-celeron-m

    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:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_chipsets

    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.
