> As I said before, we > have to save power as possible as we can I have a dual atom motherboard, a Supermicro X7SLA-H which is rather old now, but it still works fine. This is my cpu, auth, file, dns soa, and smtp/imap server.
It has two mirrored enterprise grade 500Gb drives from different manufacturers (the idea is one will fail before the other). I plan to add an SSD to the mirror to hopefully speed venti. This draws about 23 watts. I run fossil+venti from the labs at present. I use an raspberry PI terminal (2 watts). The worsed offender is my DELL HD resolution display which draws 70 watts. currently the raspberry pi kernel does not send the CEC sequence to shut down the display when its idle (screen saver), but its on my list of things to fix. I use HDMI but believe if you attach the display via XVGA the syncs disappear on idle and shutdown the display correctly but I have not tried this. I also have a "green" router/wifi basestation/ADSL modem which draws 5 watts. -Steve
