Shuttle KPC K4500 - PC World
PC World have published a review of the Shuttle KPC K4500 compact desktop PC. 'Shuttle markets the K4500 as eco-friendly, and it is--to a point. Iit draws far less power that a gaming system, but more power than other desktops we've tested, including the Linux-based Zonbu Onbox. Running a 1.8-GHz Celeron 430 CPU with 512MB of DDR2 667 RAM, the K45 drew 1.8 watts when powered down, 3.7 watts in standby mode, and 48.4 watts at idle (with the OS running but no apps grinding away). By comparison the Onbox with its Via 1.2-GHz C7 CPU drew a parsimonious 1 watt while off and 9.6 watts at idle. The Onbox's 4GB solid-state drive may account for its superior power savings.'
