It uses an embedded Via CPU (600 MHz) with no fans that draws 11 Watts at a full load. Even counting the hard drive power, I am certain it is not over 20 Watts. The bonus is that I can use it to also be a backup MX, serve up a few web pages and be a shell server for me, so that I can login and check mail while I'm away. But it's primary function remains that of firewall.
