Don't hold your breath on a reduction in power consumption. Rather, work out
how much it will cost you to run over the lifetime of the server and compare
that against the cost of the alternatives.

I run a home-built PC at home for all the server stuff I need...


Thanks Jez.. I think I'll probably pass on this one and opt for a
faster machine
if one comes along so the increase in cpu performance will be larger.
One reason
I really love the Proliant's is how rock-solid they are.. I get almost
no downtime
with these machines -- they really are rock-solid!
