Oh I do! But for the office PBXs. Typical power consumption of those is just 15W. See http://unicorn.drogon.net/power.jpg That's a 1GHz VIA CN1000G board, 512MB RAM and a TDM400 card with 3 FXO ports. I think it's hard to get much lower than that using commodity components. Here I want something with just a bit more oomph in the co-lo as it will be handling many more SIP registrations, a few IAX trunks and a small number of transcodes. And, although my co-lo hasn't moved to it yet, a lot of co-lo's in the UK are now charging per amp in addition to the basic hosting costs. In London, bandwidth is virtually free, but electrical power costs money!
