That's a really good question. This is a small 260 watt supermicro short depth (14") 1u system I purchased from tigerdirect. Its roughly the same type of system that barracuda networks would sell you. You can purchase one from newegg with dual core atom 330 processors which would be even lower power for around $414. Its a nothing box and its not even breathing hard. its running on a 100mbps fiber. The speed tests that I've run show it running close to wire speed. It would probably run even better if I were using real server NIC's on it. I'm just using the two on board GB NIC's. It has an available PCI slot.What's the real-world power consumption and heat like? 455 days shows some pretty good reliability! Cheers for the info Curtis
Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2220 @ 2.40GHzWould I run an ISP on it? No. Would I deploy a much more capable box for a more robust environment, absolutely. This particular box is firewalling an insurance company.
