lo all

as u know i have bought myself an xbox360

anyway i am now finding myself not using my pc as much but as it stands its quite a power hungry machine

i only use it for torrents

what is the best route to go for just doing torrents and using it to stream media to my xbox but it can be left on full time

basically i want a cheap box that isnt power hungry


cheers all :gsv:

I use a small AMD box for just doing torrents and acting as a media server. Check up on the power consumption of cpu's and then grab everything else thats power saving, cheap and quiet. I run the utils that come with the motherboard that is an amd chipset, its designed to run everything only as fast as needed so power usage is low.
