<div><br>A 200Mhz machine you say....interesting....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm currently doing a theoretical exercise trying to figure out the lowest power (as in electricity) backend you can get.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The Mini-ITX boards can go as low as ~20w idle (or less), but are very limited in PCI slots (useful in a backend!)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyone know if you can get multi-PCI slot boards with these kind of power requirements?</div>
