This is reported at running at about 45 watts. Is that better than upgrading a 5 year old power sucker for a home server?Gordonand still £99. A dual core machine would be used as a PC..Yeabut... This is new... Shiney .... Gordon
I've always liked shiney for something hidden away under the stairs.To be honest with the cash back (why? is that to stop people buying a load?) its a good value pc - I'd imaging its more solid than anything dell can offer at that price - except they dont go that low...
