Is there some data about respective power consumption?
A few days ago, somebody on #cubieboard IRC channel (@freenode) measured the current drawn and it was at about 300mA with nothing connected and no load spiking over 1A when HDMI, LAN and USB peripherals were used and the processor was under load. He wasn't using Fedora though. :) I don't have the logs at myself right now unfortunately to tell you exactly what he has written. For concrete numbers, try asking there or on the the forum or Google group. The Cubieboard community is really great and helping. However, I don't have the board yet but it should be on its way.
Thanks I am insterested in a board that is somewhat cheap, stable and low power consumption so it can be one 24/7.
I have been experimented with the Pi for 6 month and cannot vouch for the stable part unfortunately.
Power consumption is 7W including external hard drive which puts the annaul electricty cost at roughly EUR 7 where I live.
I will look at the Cubieboard as a replacement for my Pi.
