[QUOTE="SwingSultan, post: 301483, member: 53218"] do you really think that the atom is faster than the geode nx?!? the geode nx is essentially an old athlon xp core that would wipe the floor with the atom performance wise. there are other issues with the atom. the essential boards have a horrible vga signal. instead of a cf card you could use other alternatives for an hdd like a fast usb stick (you should make shure that it also writes fast!). another alternative for the atom would be something like an undervolted amd sempron with an asrock nf3 based board. there is a special kombo lurking around the internet that is supposed to have an idle power consuption of 17w! with a standard 300w psu and a 2,5" or 3,5" hdd. btw. why do you want the system to run 24/7 if its only a client. personally when i waste my time watching movies etc. i think that i really have 3 seconds to wait for my htpc to wake up from suspend to ram.
