Knowbodies' 5W (at idle) File Server
Woohoo, new file server. It's a bit unconventional but it works. I bought an NS-K330 Arm based fileserver off of Ebay. It's intended to be used a bittorrent box. I added a 1TB USB harddrive (to hold my files) and 4GB USB stick for a swapfile. When the harddrive spins up, power usage increases by about 40%.
It's quite an improvement from my old fileserver - a Dlink DNS323. It used 11W at idle and 15 under load.
