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.
