Oh right... No wonder you're seeing 11 day rebuilds on an Atom. My Atom netbook can't even play flash lol
You might wanna look at a core I- 'T' version processors. My i3-2120T is 35w, the i3-2120 is 65w. There are 'T' versions of the i5 and i7 if you need more grunt.
My rig cost me around £400 (IIRC, excluding the drives) it sits and idles most of the day. I'm just looking in to getting one of those Owl things to see how much power it drains. Are they any good?
One thing I've been reading is that Windows is better then Linux when it comes to power saving as *nix is designed to be an 'always on' OS but Windows has been built with power saving in mind from the ground up so is far more efficient.
