I'm in search of some hardware that consumes a low amount of power for use as a test-bed for Linux, various coding projects, and LAN services.
I have a couple of HP MicroServers N40L's with 8gb of ram each; although they only have a dual core, and a real lower power cpu - it tends to be fast enough for most things. eg. I am using those to test the installers in 5.9/i386 and x86_64 in various conditions and the install time is very acceptable.
Plus, they run CentOS5/6 32 and 64bit perfectly.
I too had been looking at these as the servers I use at present for testing are using way too much power (I have 3 off dual core Poweredge 860s with 8GB of RAM).
Looking at the specs for N40Ls though put me off because they're rated at 150W. Or am I missing something here?
