  Nooo, an AT&T 3B2 model 600 is VERY powerful and runs off house
current in an unconditioned room.  For that matter, the model 500
is almost as powerful (less disk storage and memory space) and will
also.  What do you determine as "powerful"?  Supporting around or
just under 100 users is powerful to me (especially for a desktop,
or under-desk mini...)
