Some of you may remember a poll about NASs I recently opened here on the sub. The background was that my HP ProDesk 600 G1 SFF turned into NAS finally failed. Now, I did some diagnostics and it seems to be a motherboard problem. However, I don’t really want to repair it, so I will gut it for usable parts and recycle the rest. The reason behind it is that it was a power-hungry mofo, idleing at 20-25w. Hence, now that I have the chance I’d like to upgrade to something much more energy efficient, idleing at < 10w. I am currently looking into tiny HPs and Dells, since they are cheap to get off Amazon as refurbished machines (< 150€) and seem to idle in that watt range. What do you think? TY in advance.
