Don't forget that the 25W R3700 includes a hard drive, while the SheevaPlug doesn't. In fact, my existing server stack (SheevaPlug + external HDD + SSD + ADSL router + DWL54G + UPS) consumes about 20W, and goes up and down about 25% depending whether the external HDD is spun up or not. An R3700 based setup would probably use about 35W, I'd say. I would be able to show you pretty graphs but unfortunately a recent update to nut has totally broken its ability to talk to my UPS, so I don't have any server stats any more. -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my │ telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out │ how to use my telephone." --- Bjarne Stroustrup
