I'm being warned by Microsoft now that my Windows 7 PC that I run LMS on will soon be extinct as far as support goes. Since this PC is on all the time, perhaps I could save some money on monthly household electrons by migrating to more "environmentally friendly" hardware that doesn't have a 400w-500w power supply.
To the Community: What would be your vote on the best hardware platform to effectively run LMS on that I could leave on indefinitely and keep a low power consumption footie-print?
As an aside, my Linux skills are weak but slowly developing. I'm going to, in the interim before migrating hardware, install LUbuntu on the old PC and reinstall LMS just to see if I can. I have a backup LMS on another Windows box to keep the tunes rolling while I work.
All suggestions greatly appreciated.
Michael
