Re: Acer Aspire V 11 and E 11
I've bought an Acer E 11, actually the lowest-end version of this, with only two usb ports and a 250GB hard drive. This is an amazing laptop for this price (3300 mexican pesos, this is around 235 dollars). Good sound, webcam, keyboard, it is very lightweight and near silent because is fanless. Scree...

Re: A fanless home file server
nice build! expecially the home-made case.
I have the same intel mobo, it is in a small htpc I tried to build but is too slow/weak for that purpose. I will try to reuse it for a file/music server.

Re: quiet low-power mini-itx i3 2100t build
yes leem, I tweaked all what the mobo let me change in bios for low power consumption. For example I undervolted a bit the ram (not too much, only from1.5v to 1.4v. I will try to push down the voltage a bit more). It isn't possible to undervolt the CPU, but the i3 is very efficient itself at stock v...

Re: mini-ITX LGA1155: efficient PSUs? PicoPSU+brick? or othe
my i3 LGA1155 mini-itx rig is powered by a PicoPSU 90 + a 72w 12v power brick. [ http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=62743 ] Seems to me a pretty efficient combination. If you want even more efficiency, there is a new "green" picopsu: http://cgi.ebay.com/PicoPSU-90-XLP-90W-12V-...

Re: Advice for a low-power mini-itx PC
Thanks to Abula and Hfat, very helpful advices. Abula: I did not notice the close it is the PSU connector to the ram module in the ECS mobo, probably not enough space to fit a picoPsu (but maybe could fit with a PSU extension). Your list of mobos is very useful, and I agree the Intel one is probably...

Advice for a low-power mini-itx PC
I have plans to build a new PC for general use (mainly word processing, web surfing, photo editing, some music, some low profile games and (rarely) some videos. Also dvd and cd ripping. No blue-ray.

Re: Mini ITX Low Power Build
very interesting rig. Maybe a PICOpsu 90 would be enough for that power consumption.
I will build soon a similar rig.

Re: fanless products
I can't see a point in a completely passive build, in a silence perspective. As others has stated, a single low-revolution fan is inaudible. So, what's the benefit to run a pc passively?

Re: Opinions and recommendations on two potential builds
I have a D510MO rig I've built for my kids to surf the net and play low-graphic-demanding games. This little pc is feeded by a Picopsu with a standard laptop power brick, has a 2.5" hdd, and a usb wifi adapter. Idles at 17w and go up to 21w under heavy load (playing games). Probably this kind of bui...

Re: Best energy efficient monitor?
I have recently swapped my 17" lcd with a new 21.5" led 1920 x 1080 monitor. Power usage is the same, 13w, when the brightness is lowered to 40%. The new monitor is the Acer S211HLbd 21.5'' (see newegg for reviews). Very nice monitor.

Both. They has to go in hand: less power consumption and less noise. My actual rig is quite power efficient and almost silent. For the high cost of electricity and the global warming, I would say that power consumption is a concern. Saving some watts does matter, for financial (bill) and moral (ecol...

hi kubunteando, your rig actually has a good power consumption because you have a dedicated graphic card. 42w is not bad at all. Probably what helps you is the "e" of your cpu (with a lower TDP than mine: the regor 240 has 65w). I'm not an expert in undervolting. I just did experiments with k10 stat...
