Re: [LUG] Low Powered Computers

 

Just a couple of notes:
I have a viglen mpc box - meant to cost £1 a year in electricity. Not very bogomipsy but suitable for fileserver/proxy etc
Theoretically can be run off a battery.

Screens - how about looking down the OLPC route - colour screens that use backlighting.

Also for powergeneration I have a couple of open-source designs that I need help on - there's my sushi bar design which consists of sails on rails and should cost around £50 per KW for the sails/supports and you can get a 2KW alternator from lorry for a couple of hundred and dont tell me a bout percentage power losses from gearing......
