I'm thinking that I ought to replace my current desktop machine with something a bit faster and (maybe) less power consuming.
My current desktop is a Fujitsu Esprimo P910 with a small (128Gb) SSD and several spinning hard disks.
This machine stays on all the time as it's my mail server that I ssh into to read my mail whci it receives using SMTP. So I'd like to get something at least as economical (power wise), the P910 which idles at about 22 to 24 watts
So requirements for new machine are:-
Idle power consumption less than 20 watts or so
I5 to I7 sort of performance, 6th/7th generation?
Larger SSD, e.g. 512Mb, though 240Gb would probably be enough.
Prefer wholly Intel hardware/chipset, especially the graphics, to be sure it works well for Linux.
Space for several hard disk drives, so a laptop isn't going to work, and anyway I want a big screen (currently 24").
Any ideas and suggestions?

FWIW, and I regret to say I have no idea if or how it meets your spec, but I bought one of these earlier this year;
https://www.dell.com/en-uk/work/shop/desktop-and-all-in-one-pcs/desktop-opti...
Except I bought it on eBay as a corporate return, for rather less than Dell are asking; when it came it was brand new, still sealed in its box. I have 8Gb memory, 128Gb NVME "disk" for boot and "/" and 1Tb of spinning rust for /home. It's an i7-7 and runs Mint 19 Cinnamon with the integrated Intel graphics a proper treat. It'll display full screen HD video (I also bought a Dell 27" HiDPI monitor s/h on eBay to go with it) without tearing or artifacts.
Hope this helps a little.
Hugh.

That's the sort of thing I'm after. Do you have any idea what its power consumption at idle is?

Not a scooby. Sorry.
