Thank you PC Pro for writing this review. I work at a school and we’ve been looking to buy a number of small sized, durable PC’s for the students computer room and have been in a dilemna over finding something which has good energy credientials. We”ve ordered some samples already and will let you know how we get on. (Great price too)

Brilliant. Just got my brand new Anders FitPC connected to my flat screen at home and running full HD films off my hard drive – at only 60% utility. I’ve been looking for this type of low power multi media centre for ages and no doubt this is the winne!
How have these guys done this!

Thanks for all your comments – Rich, you’ll be pleased with this machine’s power draw, which I’ve measured at 7W when idle and only 13W when running through our benchmarks, so it looks like you’ll be able to use it guilt-free.

Think I’ll wait for the Acer Revo Linux version to be released with a Hard Drive. £150 with wifi and nvidia Ion for reasonable graphics. Bolt it strait to the back of a TV set and you’ve got it well hidden. Should be great as a media player, web browser and all round thingy majig

I’ve been looking at this mini-PC for a while, and from what i can see one of the major attractions is that it doesnt need much power, especially for the specs – only uses 10W or so – so can be left on as a download centre (and media centre – i’m strapping mine to the back of my 42″ Samsung!) without racking up the electrical bills (and while saving the world, etc etc)

Other PCs i’ve been looking at, like the Linutop, also work with low power, but dont have anywhere near the specs and running it as a normal PC looks like it’ll be about as appealing as watching paint dry (and take about as long to surf the net or load applications!).

This is one looks the best bet out of the ones i’ve seen so far…

I still don’t understand why you just wouldn’t by a netbook, and connect it to a monitor when you want a net top, but still have the flexibility of a netbook. If absolutely required a keyboard and mouse can be added for virtually nothing. And if the power goes off you can still use it! (Minus monitor of course)
