Jonathan That's exactly what I'm doing. I boot a SBC from flash that doesn't have fans or even heatsinks. It runs on 12 watts of power. -- Kristian Kielhofner ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

[Asterisk-Users] Brainstorm: Running Asterisk as cool as possible - AKA solid state.
I would like to ask what people think the best way would be to build a low-power consumption, passively-cooled system. For example,one could use a fanless-Eden (mini-ITX/EPIA) system, but the loss of FPU power would limit performance. The obvious choice for FPU work are the Intels and AMDs, nut they're all power-hungry radiators. Is there something that can offer the quiet, power-savings of the EPIA, but some sort of respectable math capabilities? Transmeta was into that game, but I'm not sure if that's any help. This might work: http://mini-itx.com/projects/cluster/ But it'd take up a lot of space and look rather ugly. Hmm. It wouldn't be the first ugly PBX . . . How about AMD's Geode. Anyone have any experiences? Where my mind is at is building a system that could live in a harsh environment (like a typical key system closet).
