[QUOTE="Ranjith Sai, post: 2030489, member: 58538"] Do you realise that the smps has losses unless its gold rated (even then the losses would be reasonably high for a gaming smps)? Please check on power usage of an i5 haswell at idle (typically around 30w) and you would know you don't have to just pay so much bills when a raspberry pi or banana pi can do the trick for you. The rig which you have suggested would be drawing at least 50-60 W with all the cooling still running (definitely not worth it to be running as a download server) [/QUOTE]
