If I can replace all computers at home, with SunRays I have saved power. Say
each PC uses 100 watt at idle, that could be 300Watt at idle. If I replace them
with a SunRay server that idles at 50watt, I have saved lots of power.
I want the server to be powerful, but excellent graphics performance is not
important, but I want rudimentary graphics ability: 1080p, Compiz, etc.
Sandybridge is powerful CPU, so I can do some heavy compilations and
development, and also SunRay will benefit from powerful CPU.
While I'm a big fan of deploying SunRays, there are lower power
alternatives to 100W PCs for running compiz. My Atom N330 + ION brick
(ASRock ION 330) runs Solaris 11 Express + compiz just fine and
rarely every budges above 25W with an active desktop.
