Hello All,
Since we got our Owl electricty monitor we have become , well, dare I say it, obsessive about our electricty cnsumption - we know what our "standard running" cost is and anything over that and we're on the hunt for anything left switched on. To be fair it has saved us a few pennies, especially since our elecricity company - Airtricity - (we're in N.I. so we only have a choice of two !) sneaked in a 20% price rise.
Anyhow - being energy miserly didn't mean that we couldn't be without a PC. With our trusty eight year old Pentium 4 showing signs of imminent death we decided to go on the search for something more up to date and energy efficient. This is what we found -
http://www.ocdistribution.com/ - it's the Xi3 modular PC.
We've had it now for a couple of weeks and the electricty monitor hardly notices it - using just 20 watts of power and what is even better is that with it's Tandem software - it can run as two PC's ! So now our two squabbling teenage daughters can use it at the same time. Result.
Oh, and even just to look at it it's very cool.
