Re: ARM-based low-power server

I have several TS-7200s as well as a couple of RiscPCs, I've kept an eye on the 
Sheevaplugs and a friend has a raspberry pi and while I have a soft spot for 
the ARM, I'm generally unsatisfied. There always seems to be something wrong 
with an ARM board, the TS-7xxx range are more expensive than I would like 
because they are aimed at the industrial PC-104 market, the Sheevaplugs 
overheat and most everything else has no SATA. I think it's the focus and the 
maturity of the market.

PC boards such as ones from VIA and the Intel atom use lots more power than the 
ARMs (up to 15W maybe) and they work embarrassingly well. :-(

Cheers,
Lloyd
