Dave Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Something for conversation. I ran across this USB powered 16" monitor that would make a great additional monitor for any setup but what about considering it for a Windows Home Server? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1375995&CatId=164 It draws only 8 watts of power and is powered only by USB. What would be great is if you could remove your video card from your WHS to further reduce power draw and use this by itself. I'm not sure it's possible but seems like a good idea for those that are power conscious. I saw a Windows 7 badge so I assume the driver would work on a server. Honestly, i didn't research it much so opening it for conversation! I found it while looking for this monitor: http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/19/the-aoc-aire-pro-a-23-inch-ips-monitor-for-199/#continued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikon Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Maybe it could be useful for pre-built, headless boxes like the MSS and Acer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yodafett Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I like for what ikon said. Better yet for those who store the server in a cabinet or closet can run a small USB us. Via USB extenders ans have a keyboard mouse and monitor run via a single cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
