Re: Re: Suggestions for mini-itx mobo for HA/home server

Nice, but it's pretty much at the top end of the price range though.

Also no power consumption figure is given.  Given that these mobos are
designed to be energy efficient it's a shame that "typical"
consumption dat=

isn't more readily available.  Yes I know you then have to add consumption
of other components etc but some benchmark comparison would be useful.
