I highly recommend the newer Intel Celeron processors. They only use about 30 watts and that's when they are working hard. They stay cool and are very quiet. I use Asus or Gigabyte mother boards. If you dislike Intel, then try AMD Semprons. They are not quite as power efficent (45 watts), but they are just as quiet and a bit cooler IMO. I have several of these systems, they work really well and can be built for less than 200 dollars in the United States of America ;) (case, mobo, power supply, ram, cpu, hdd, etc) < $200.00 USD -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Low-power-OpenBSD-machine-tp23022564p23040201.html Sent from the openbsd user - misc mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
