The Kuro Box HG has a 25 watt power supply, so that's all it can ever use. If the hard drive spins down it's probably less than 10.
My Thecus N2100 has a 60 watt power supply. It has two hard drives and a beefier processor (although with the Debian install performance, especially floating point, is not as good as I hoped). I'm seriously considering a Mini-ITX/ VIA processor solution. Power consumption is about the same as the Thecus, but with better performance, and x86 compatibility. I'm having trouble finding a Mini-ITX case with 2 3.5" hard drive slots (so I can do RAID 1.) As a side note, it's also worth considering how much things like set-top boxes, TiVos, etc. use. -- mrfantasy --Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrfantasy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37416 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
