AMD x3 405E (45W)
WHS2011
TV card, Sat card
2 x 3TB, 3 x 1TB (no green drives)

Media storage, backup, vpn, Mediaportal host. Planning to add a couple VM's for testing but they usually sit on the HP N40L with EXSI

48W idle drives spun down, a little over 100W at full load and all drives spinning.

Just picked up an Athlon X4 640 cheap and from what I read the idle consumption is comparable the the energy efficient E series but will give me 75% extra performance when needed.

Just use a standard boxed HSF and cool and quiet. Fan never really ramps up, quieter in operation than the N40L though I'm temped to dismantle that and swap the rear fan.

Swapped in the X4 640 now

Idle power consumption is a tiny bit lower @ 46W from 48W with drives spun down.

Full CPU load has increased from around 87W to 125W with drives spun down.

Happy enough, sits at idle most of the time but plenty enough in reserve. System noticeably quicker through remote desktop.

Should keep media portal sweet while everything else ticks along.

May I ask why did you not use the 2 onboard nics for PFsense build? Or do you?
