My Mini-ITX based system costs about that it draws <30W so over
a=20
year that is 262,800Wh or 263KWh at a averaged price of 12p / KWh=20
that is =A331.54.

My board is not the lowest power consumer I've been looking at a=20
Jetway Mini-ITX with a VIA CPU that are around <10W and then use a=20
SSD. Total power consumption would be <20W.

I'm coming to the conclusion that you need two Node1 servers (if=20
that makes sense) 1 very low power that is all 24/7 and another=20
high powered that only comes on for CPU intensive tasks, i.e web-
serving, ripping CDs /DVDs / Blu-Ray disks and streaming. The low=20
power one can control the high powered with WoL and CLI shutdown /=20
hibernate.
