Just exploring another angle. Lets say you get a $50 Dell GX110 and use it as is for five years or how ever long it lasts and it uses 150 watts of power. Then compare it to this $300 PC at 80 Watts (guessing here). That leaves $250 to pay the difference in in power consumption. And saves all the new energy that is needed to make, transport (from China) and recycle (back to China) a new PC. I haven't thought about it much more than this, so I really don't know how this would turn out. -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/index.html California, USA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
