damn
i got a plugin power monitor to check how much power is being used by the hp microserver.
20 wats on idle.. that's with apache fan, passive PSU and WD green drives 1x500GB 2X2TB
with a 5450 graphics card the idle went up by 5-7 watts. but the 5450 hasn't given me the performance boos I wanted, the video stream sucks
I can't get the hd5450 to play videos properly using xbmc, I've got whs2011 running, installed win6 64bit drivers, video plays fine outside on a normal player, but running videos in xbmc seems to be too much for it to handle
