Re: [ukha_d] 1TB "Green" Drives

["Geoff H"<yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Take a look at the mini-itx.com site http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=2

They do some low power mini itx boards that have 4 sata connectors on
them, instead of the usual two. They use the Via C7 chip and the mobo
and chip pulls around 26W for the 1.8GHz processor or 22W for 1GHz
processor. The lower power variation is fanless.

I did consider this recently but opted instead for an atom mobo.
