Never done the math myself, but I'll bet Intel has pretty good docs on
that Mobo.
As for the 250W power supply, that has nothing do to with how much power
it consumes, that's simply a rating of roughly the maximum power it is
able to provide. I would not expect the whole system to draw much more
than 50W or so, but again, I have not done any math on that; it's just a
number I made up. I think all the chips on the mobo are gonna suck about
20W, and the HDD maybe another 10-15. The fans will suck up a bit more,
and I would guess there is some loss due to inefficency in the power supply.
Anyhow, this thing is going to use less power than a PC, that much is
fairly safe to assume.

Also, it seems to include a 250W power supply... Isn't that overkill? Any idea
of how much power this uses? Since one of my intentions was to reduce power
consumption significantly.

I have installed asterisk on an Atom-based system using CentOS 5.2 with
no problems of any kind. To the OS it seems that it looks and acts
exactly line a mainstream Intel brain/mobo. I think Trixbox uses some
flavour of CentOS; not sure if it's 5.2 though.
I grabbed one of these from Canada Computers:

I threw in a T1 card in it and use it as my C.O. simulator. It works a
treat. I even unplugged the CPU fan.

I have been looking at Atom based systems for a while. I keep drooling over
these cheapo, compact, low power units.
I'd really like to replace my 1Ghz, 1GB, 1U machine running Asterisk with one
in an attempt to keep power usage low. Are these things supported with
Asterisk/Trixbox?
Is anyone using them or can recommend a board or specific system? Any ideas on
capacity of users, transcoding, etc?
I have been looking at Jetway and Intel boards.
Any suggested configs (and accessories, riser cards, CF, etc...) or
alternatives would be appreciated.
Regards,
Chuck
