    I am also looking a new build to replace my old S939 Operton Sage Server.  The performance has been pretty good for me, but I am looking to reduce my power bills and combine my Sage server with a windows server, running a bunch of small processes, squeezebox, sabnzbd, etc.

    I was actually looking at an even cheaper processor, the G620, which is about half the price, of the i3, but also about a 1/3 the speed when encoding.  I am not using this server to play any video, so it might be faster enough for me, what do you guys think?

    Also, is the advantage of the T processors worth it?  It looks like they are about the same when  idle, and only slightly better when unloaded.  I had read somewhere, that if you have the right kind of motherboard, you can get the same performance of the non-T version, but I can’t find that now.
