4) save in my electric bill as I am using 400+watt power supply but the SAM 460 need only 100 watt to run. Saving a lot in heat and energy.

How many watts does a typical Sam460 consume?

Curious, because you can configure some pretty low power PCs.  My i3-2100t HTPCs with 8GB RAM consume around 16w at idle, and bump up to the low 20s when playing back full bitrate BluRays ripped to MKVs.
