Just a few comments.

Money: I do have a number of old Mutia's. One I used as a server for backups. I replaced it with a Linksys NSLU2 costing about E 75,=. The Linksys only consumes a few Watt, most of it is in the display (4 Leds) I think.

World Preservation: Well I think those 14 year old 64 bit Alpha's should be preserved. For the time being I preserve my 5 Multia's without power switched on ...

Quiet: ... that is much quieter.

Geekness factor: Both the Linksys and the Multia do fine.
