Frackers,

My new computer draws double that power. Dual core 6Ghz, 1Tb HDD. No RAID.
Running SETI, drawing 135w, UPS 24w, Router 5w, not measured cable modems or several switches.
Not running SETI computer uses 86w.

What CPU and motherboard you using?

Have fun,
Scott.

I'm running the following (custom build by a local shop to my specs)

ASUS M3N78Pro motherboard (GeForce 8300 onboard graphics)
Corsair PC2-6400 DDR2-800 (4GB total)
AMD Athlon X2 5050e CPU AM2 45W (2.6GHz)
CoolMaster Centurion 590 case with 400w PSU
ASUS DRW-22B1ST DVD writer

GB IDE Seagate 7200.10 system disk
GB SATA2 Seagate 7200.11 x 5

So far it all works, a small problem with unreliable connection via a USB to serial converter to the UPS which caused random shutdowns but I've brought the internal serial port out to the back panel now so that's fixed!!

Frackers,

The 45 watt CPU was not out when I was looking.
AMD Athlon X2 5050e CPU AM2 45W (2.6GHz)
Nice CPU, maybe will build a computer with it.
Design and build my own computers, above $320 back in Nov08, all new except case.
Driving factor is cost/performance for SETI, had 22 going for a while.

Scott.
