Loaded my U810 ultra portable laptop up with Everquest and ran around. It is doable on that and I only minorly tweaked it down. Am pretty sure I can lower settings even more to have the game run more smoothly. As is, it will work, but plays the game very jerky like

The U810:



5.6" screen 1024x600 res

800MHz cpu

Mobile Intel Express 945GM (which I think is a GMA 950)

1gig of ram max (it's soldered in...the laptop is smaller then a DVD disk)

4200RPM harddrive

and I have it running on Vista premium.



If that can run it, I am pretty sure the new Atom ITX combo will do better

Thats the mobo and the CPU. CPU draws 8 watts! I think the IGP draws @ 40 watts, board will do around 10watts or so, a 5200rpm 2.5" hdd will be around 10 watts and a 7" TFT LCD I found on ebay for $75 (add a $35 controller also) claims 12 watts max draw and I think all this is at load. At idel, it will be less.Much less. So..@80 watts (while playing) per set-up and a cost of $250 each...forgot to add in a pico psu for $50 each as well (also, for OS, I have a technet membership that I paid $99 for.....so I am set for OS's already and have 10 keys for each different MS OS's and would use XP pro 32 for these boxxes). Thats on the low end for performance but it is also probably the most efficient set-up for energy savings and I think will run EQ well enough for boxing, considering my U810 laptop does



Very very rough and incomplete sketchup of what I have in mind



there will be a second set of three mobos above the bottem ones. Pico psu's are very small and take up nearly no space. Those 6 green rectangles are the back side of the 7" LCD modules, the harddrives will either be mounted right on the intake/exhaust fans I will add or above the top set of mobos. The box is 20" wide x 10" high, but I will have to make it sligthly wider. Also, was thinking I should raise it up a little so the bottem screens arn't just above the desk. Anyway, that is roughly what it will be, but still much to think over and change around. Here is a size comparison



Or I use a 780G, G45 or 8200 IGP board that should easily play EQ, along with a 35w (intel) or 45w (amd) cpu. I will use @30watts more with the CPU on these boards, but save about 20watts because these IGP's are the new more efficient ones, so probably end up at @100watts at load, have a much more capable box that will run the game smooth, but cost @ $100 more per build.
