Aleutia E2: low power to the peopleAleutia E2: low power to the peoplePosted Feb 5, 2009 6:16 UTC (Thu) by roelofs (subscriber, #2599)In reply to: Aleutia E2: low power to the people by Kamilion Parent article: Aleutia E2: low power to the people Yikes, $300? I mean, I know it's small and VESA mountable, but... yeesh. An Intel D945GCLF2 'Little Falls 2' board is only $96 at LogicSupply: http://www.logicsupply.com/products/boxd945gclf2 Yabbut...for some of us, "no moving parts" is a very nice feature. Intel isn't anywhere close to that--the CPU requires a fan, and I'm guessing the ATX power supply does, too. (The "NAS-style case" you point at appears to have two case fans in the front.) At only 30+W, it's not bad (and the features are indeed nice), but it's still four times as much power as the E2. Greg

d945gclf2-based system with no moving parts Posted Feb 16, 2009 12:28 UTC (Mon) by aleutia (guest, #56538) [Link]
mini-itx is (a lot) bigger but the Atom (a rebadged centrino) is a nice chip. Dual core version actually two separate chips (not even on same die) and with hyperthreading shows up as 4 cores in Ubuntu, so it's a tempting piece of hardware for more demanding users. We're releasing that board in a sealed, fanless box with a 30GB OCZ SSD. Will be the P1 - should have videos and pics on the site by the end of the month. But naturally more expensive and more power-hungry.
