I'm not holding my breath regarding it! Problem is I want/need a low power, always on computer for data logging/monitoring and doing a bit of processing.
The reason I wanted a Pi was that the model B only uses about 700 mA or 3.5w, compared to a PC consuming about 100w. A Pi with an external HDD attached to it would only require about 25w which is why I was so eager to get hold of one.
I was looking at a 12DC to ATX power supply, but these are limited to about 150-200w and quite expensive at approx £30-40. Same price as a Pi.

Not as cheap (at £79-odd), but what about one of these? http://www.linuxtech.net/reviews/intel_DN2800MT_cedarview_atom_power_draw.html |

Another example of Ebay purchasers who are deficient in brain cells. |

Hello Clivejo, it only just arrived from CPC, had a bit of a time just to get a screenshot  However the picture on a Samsung 40" is ok, I think the fonts need changed though, they don't look that sharp. I will just use it for experiments, maybe that will lead to it finding a permanent job |
