@Kong

his setup is running at 4 watts idle. Before I upgraded to the 8500T, I thought for sure I’d be up over 40 watts idle. I’m glad I was wrong in that previous assessment.

To clarify, with this setup: [Official] HP 290-p0043w Owner's Thread - #687 by Kong

you idle @4W? (HP ProDesk 400 G4 Micro Tower - 7th Gen Pentium G4560 2C/4T, 8GB DDR4 - $119.00 (seller accepts $90 offers) - #30)

What’s under “normal/average” use and what’s the peak draw from the socket? The savings in power bill could well be worth the extra cost for the 8500T so I just wanted to check before spending a lot more money

I am really interested in seeing how far we can take some cheap, low power devices.

Here’s where I explore this idea and would enjoy your input: Any technical reasons why we cant have a NAS Killer using the intel HP 290 or ProDesk 400 G4?
