[QUOTE="Bagal, post: 476192, member: 27764"] I've just upgraded my server and bought the following: Pentium Dual Core e5200 MSI G45M Digital 4gig memory this was combined with the existing bits I had: 2x Nova-T PCI DVB-T cards Antec Neo 550w PSU 6 Hard Drives (set to power down when idle) Using Windows 7 RC, in idle I'm getting power usage of around 65w, load is between 90-100w Overall I'm very happy with the power usage and performance of the system, especially as my old P4 server was drawing 130w at idle! :eek: In fact, by my rough estimates in a year to 18months I'll have recouped the cost of the upgrade in power savings alone ;) [/QUOTE]
