Re: Re: Base-line power consumption

[Kevin Hawkins <yahoogroupskh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not far behind that either Paul...  :-(

1.4KW is my base rate - but I have been really bad at leaving PC's
running - I'm currently moving bits to a couple (maybe even three) Atom
based PC's , one running WHS. These are circa 35W each  and then I
should be able to get sub 1KW, which I know is still way too high...but
it's a start.    I'm playing with permutations of my applications to see
what seems best in terms of running on each.
