I'm not sure why that should be? Power consumption is proportional to clock frequency all else being equal, and if a synchronous digital circuit has timing closure under normal clock speeds, it sure will when its run slower. Is there a particular technical issue I might be expected to hit? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underclocking Anyway, my experience in using 3/4 of the rated clock speeds was noticeably less heat and less noise (due to the temperature controlled fan running slower) and I see no down-side as yet. I do like your suggestions, e.g. using laptop drives. As regards processors, I am using an old AMD Athlon, so lots of room for improvement there --- but it will take an entirely new hardware solution to make that practical.
