SYNACK Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I just had a look at the new VIA line of motherboards and found something interesting. VIA ARTiGO Pico-ITX Builder Kit A1000 - VIA Technologies, Inc. It is a whole x86 system that fits in a case small enough to be mounted in a 5.25" drive bay. It works will full blown Windows XP, 1GB RAM, 1Ghz CPU and supports up to 1600x1200 on a VGA or DVI output. http://www.via.com.tw/en/images/products/embedded/artigo/artigoWeb_24-1_03.jpg http://www.via.com.tw/en/images/products/embedded/artigo/10e.jpg http://www.via.com.tw/en/images/products/embedded/artigo/10j.jpg
FN-GM Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Looks like the small form factor is the big thing at the moment.
SYNACK Posted April 24, 2008 Author Posted April 24, 2008 I'd imagine that it uses stuff all power as well but I was not able to find any numbers on its power consumption.
CyberNerd Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I'd imagine that it uses stuff all power as well but I was not able to find any numbers on its power consumption. Our Mini-ITX (larger) use 18W -even with blade chassis to run them all its a lot less than fat client.
Martin Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 According to mini-itx.com - news it uses 15W idle or 20W under full load. They are £210 including VAT, and i want one! mb
Midget Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 /me looks for an excuse to buy one .... ..... .... AH HA! webserver! wait i have a mini-itx for that. BALLS! ... ... ... webserver that doesnt require as much space as it can go into the media centre's 5 1/4 bay. WIN! *orders*
dhicks Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 I just had a look at the new VIA line of motherboards and found something interesting. Looks remarkably similar to the Viglen MPC-L we were looking at yesterday: Viglen - Product Range - XUBUMBCL No Windows, Xubuntu instead, running costs "£1 a year", costs £99. -- David Hicks
