Hi - I run an observatory on Solar Power and have used Small Form Factor PC's for a number of years - presently I use a Shuttle DS 47 Bare Bones System with 500GB Samsung 850SSD - 8 GB Ram and Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. It is fanless - designed for 24/7 operation and in my case runs the telescope, Focuser, SBIG camera and ST-i Guider plus the SKY X, CCD Commander. FocusMax and sundry other software without any problems and only draws 17 Watts of power.

Cheers
Geof Wingham
