It depends what you use it for and with. Is it headless? Then the Mac
mini will probably use half _or less_ the energy that the 8600 with
the G4 upgrade (which will add to the load) would.
You could be saving on the order of $20-70/year if you were to compare
running both machines 24/7 (assuming ~50 W draw for the Mac mini (on
average) vs 150 W draw (on average) for your 8600, upgraded to G4 (the
upgrade will draw more power than the 8600 would alone)).
Nononono! I measured a Mac mini (1.42 - 1 Gig) at 27 W (Typing) / 35
W (with optical drive on).
My iBook (1.25) has a 45 W Adapter which powers the computer, screen
& battery recharger. It's basically the same computer with an added
screen.
So I'd max the mini (CPU 100% load, low graphic load, no optical
drive) at 35 W.
