The VIA EPIA TC-10000 is a uniquely practical little board. Ideal for custom PC mods that are tight on space or use it as a car mp3/divx player since all cars are based on 12V electrical system. The TC-10000 looses little functionality over standard ATX powered EPIA boards, and it does away for the need of a DC-DC adapter if you wished to use those boards. From the results we can see that power requirements are quite low, and power consumption increases linearly with CPU utilisation.
