Quite. I had to work quite hard to build my server and keep the power
consumption down.

I did it by carefully choosing an Atom powered ITX board, using 3 x
500GB laptop drives and making it passively cooled (every fan adds quite
a bit).

I originally had 1U servers, all fitted with ITX boards. They worked
fine, but the fans soon became noisy and they had problems in the height
of summer.

I ended up replacing them with HP microservers. A bit more power
consumption, but better for my hearing.
