One interesting point about using Squeezeboxes in a green fashion that
always seems to crop up is the comment along the lines of " I'm going
to build a low power server ". 

So I was wondering in global enery and resource terms is going out and
buying new components, which used electricity in manufacture, fuel in
distribution, resources in construction balanced by the lower energy
consumption actually less than running an old PC at higher electricity
usage but no landfill or need to recycle the components with their
associated enery and fuel needs.

In short which is greener use the older more power intensive PC or junk
it and use a new system. Of course you use less electricity which
reduces your bill which may be all some people care about.

Not withstanding that all the other ideas like standby are good one.
