Comparing power consumption between commercial server and Plug: 365 days = 8760 Hrs Conventional Server: Assume 100 watts and cost 15¢/KWH(based on commercial hosting service) Cost/Year: 8760 * 0.1 * 0.15 = $131.40/Year Plug: Cost/Year: 8760 * 0.005 * 0.15 = $6.57/Year Plug is definitely cheaper and greener.
Now that would be interesting.
I'm wondering if it might be possible to build one of these with integrated Wifi instead of wired LAN and an integrated flash disk. Now that would be interesting.
What's frustrating to me is that these SheevaPlugs seem to have enough processing power to be a pretty respectable desktop computer, but they lack any kind of display output. If someone would throw a VGA or DVI port on one of these things, I'd buy it today. All most of my family needs is the ability to run Firefox and Open Office. (Flash would be nice, too.)

USB -> VGA adaptor?
