Hi Ronald,

I built my own small low-power server that runs Linux and provides a 
host of services for our home and our home businesses. Asterisk is just 
one of the functions and it runs very happily (well, the box has *never* 
stopped or needed rebooting apart from when I wanted to change something).

The VIA C7 board I bought runs at about 7W, has no fan and I have even 
downclocked it from 1.2Ghz to 1Ghz.

I have written some articles on my blog about it, here's the first article:

http://www.theopensourcerer.com/2007/09/08/untangle-asterisk-pbx-and-file-server-all-in-one/

For the other instalments use the tag cloud and Asterisk.

With the new Atom processor you might get even better power consumption 
although I have read somewhere that the associated chipsets for the Atom 
are very thirsty (+20W)...

Hope this helps.

Alan

You could get that Soekris net5501 and run Astlinux on it.  We are very 
close to having a new release out the door.  More info is available here:

http://www.astlinux.org

If you don't need PCI hardware, you could buy an ALIX 2C3 instead and 
save a few hundred $$.
