To measure power consumption we used a calibrated power meter which was attached directly to the system power adapter, excluding all external devices including the monitor. We loaded the last test in 3DMark 11 to measure ‘load'.
The system demands around 54watts at the socket when idling, which is reasonably power efficient. Under system load, it rises to around 150 watts, which is very good.
Thats really very sexy looking. I like it. Wonder if you can fit a better GPU in it. would the PSU handle it?
Nice photos. I was going to say I wonder why they hadn’t moved to the new 3rd generation processors, but I notice they just did. good move 🙂
Its a nice idea, but the power brick is massive. kinda ruins the point of having such a small case. no?
