Hi, I've just bought a Bubba2 from Excito. Currently moved all my file sharing to it, printing, mail collection and my Squeezeboxes/SliMP3s (6in total). Next thing to do is to move MH to it. I've actually been holding off moving MH because of RRD graphs for my weatherstation. The Bubba2 is clocking in at about 16W and boy is it silent compared with my previous. regards, robin Andy McCallum wrote: > Hi, > > Is anybody running MH on a low-power consumption computer?
