250W doesn't mean that the computer is not low powered! Google PSU and efficiency. Also it seems that some higher wattage PSU will have better efficiency so in the end it would take less power. A good measurement tool is the killawatt machine that you can rent from any public library.

I am searching for a low power device that I will continuously forever to run qmail, http and a few little things like that. Mini-ITX is not the only solution as some of the ARM-based systems are very compact and low power but mini-ITX is more readily available. /sc _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list Linux [ at ] lists [ dot ] oclug [ dot ] on [ dot ] ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
