Comment on When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job?

Sorry, but I don’t know. I use an A380 in my system. I got it before the A310 was available.

How does the a380 impact your power consumption? If you have ever measured it.

I’d imagine not very much. I don’t know how to measure just the GPU. It doesn’t have any desktop installed, so it’s only ever rendering a console. It can transcode tons of 1080p streams at once, so even a transcode probably doesn’t draw much power. The CPU is the hungriest part, and that’s mostly idling too.

Thank you!
