I followed that link. Wow, that is a good deal. Especially when you look at the power supply. It uses a 12 volt barrel jack and a large size wall-wort. The CPU burns all of 6 Watts. It could run on battery power.
It is good to look for low-power PCs if they are going to run all day, every day. The cost of power really adds up. The bix Xeon powered HP I use for development work costs maybe 12 cents an hour. That is about $400 at the end of the year. The machine I use to power LCNC and my 3D printer is an Intel i5 and I could justify downgrading it based on power-saving along. I had not realized there was such things at 6 Watt quad-cord Intel CPUs.
