I've been debating over router's that do ip-routing, and decided to go with the most powerful of all, a linux box. So then I decided on Astaro, as my friend has had good results. After deciding on that, I had to chose a rig. Sadly the worst computer easily available to me right now is a shuttle SV24, which is also the perfect size.
My question is, I hate wasting power, and if this thing is going to be on 24/7, it'd kinda suck if it'd be better to go with just a bought router (no idea hwo much power they use).
The Shuttle SV24 power supply is 140W give or take 10W. I know this is max W, and not what it used all the time, so any idea what it will be using running Astaro?
Any ideas on how much soemthing like the Cisco 1700 or SonicWall EZ170 uses?
Thanks!
PS - If anyone wants a complete Shuttle SV24 (40gig, 900mhz, 256meg) I have five total. Two are perfect, three the motherboard won't boot. I'm positive the Mobo's are the culprit, guarantee everything works fine except mobo's. Anyways, if anyone wants one, PM me or post an offer. Thanks again.
