[QUOTE="jonm, post: 522396, member: 87159"] Hi Kev, I think I misunderstood - are you saying you're going to run MP on this server? I was assuming it was just going to be a fileserver - apologies for the confusion. I went down the route of a (linux) fileserver in the loft which I used to store everything - even recorded TV across the network from a diskless MP machine in the living room. It worked well, but then I worked out the cost of the fileserver being always on and ditched that idea, so my MP PC now records to a local hard disk again and only powers itself up when needed. My 'normal' electricity consumption is still 6.3p an hour which I still consider too much, but not sure what I can do now to reduce that much more. [/QUOTE]
