SO now you have me wondering. Since the core i5 750 does not have an integrated IGP a lot of the reviews are placing its power consumption in the same range as the dual core i5's with IGP. When putting together a headless server box, it seems like the Intel H55 mitx motherboard used in your test...
I just got in on a deal for some cheap(er) WD 2tb Green Power drives. I am looking to order the Zotac Ion 330 mitx board for my upcoming htpc build. My only remaining concern lies with power.
I am debating between ordering the Zotac set with the 90 watt psu included, or ordering a separate...
Thanks for the research and your post. You make a very good point. It looks like the differences basically equates to around 10 watts, give or take a few, which is like $7 per year.
It doesn't seem as though running Ubuntu server edition and possible 2 or 3 vms would be particularly cpu...
I am building a file server / mcpc which will be running 24/7, so I am looking for a low power setup. I have already ordered the evga geforce 9300 motherboard as a base, now I need a cpu. I am looking a step up from the cheapo pentium dc e5200 because of it's lack of virtualization tech which I...
I am deploying 2 of them in a law firm next week. SSDs have just now reached the point where they could function in an office environment. I use the X25-M at home myself, and I have to disagree with some of the other posters. SSD systems are far snappier and load times are light years shorter. I...
Rooting around the net leads me to believe my current power supply will be just fine. I was planning on sticking with it until I saw the rebate deal today for a Corsair 620 watt modular on the cheap.
Stated requirements for a 4890 are only a 500 watt psu. I currently have:
PC Power and...
My original thought too. However, it does make sense, and the article is from what I would consider a relatively reliable source (although obviously not mac-centric) I think it's probably legit. The Quadro is coming, so why not make the 285 available? Pretty similar cards.
Yeah.. I'm sure you're right. I keep having to fight of my "oooo new tech" instincts with this build since it primarily needs to be a stable hackintosh.
On that note, can anyone verify for sure that the GTS 250 works 100% in OSX like the 9800GTX+ it really is? If so, I think i'm gonna pick...
