I wouldn=E2=80=99t call 150 W =E2=80=9Conly= =E2=80=9D, especially for a 24/7 device. Or is that the maximum under load? Right now I have a Pentium 4 3 GHz heater sitting under the desk -- I got it last year for free from a company that had written it off. It idles at 95 W and reaches around 130 (or was it 150) under load. When I sit at the desk, I notice the warm air rising from underneath because over time it dries up my eyes. ^^ Add to that an old 17=E2=80=B3 CCFL monitor (25 W) and consider my use sche= me, that=E2=80=99s almost 1 kWh per day (don=E2=80=99t know exact prices, but 1= kWh costs around 25-30=C2=A2 right now). I am so looking forward to the new machine I=E2=80=99m going to build in ve= ry few months. Haswell idles at under 20 W. 8-) (I know: today=E2=80=99s power requirement to manufacture chips is also rid= onculous, too, but considering all other benefits and my usual consumption behavior over the years, I have a clean concience *g*) --=20 Gru=C3=9F | Greetings | Qapla=E2=80=99 Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network. =E2=80=9COh, gravity, thou art a heartless bitch.=E2=80=9D =E2=80=93 Dr. Sh= eldon Cooper --Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTrEgWAAoJEIsxvrVA1DDKK/AQAISY2+rv2Fi0VavfLZ91iSL/ UE4C5Fu5zrsNuW+VdR4eROsQ9X72jOEEXQIVK06qVou1XSSnFfMzaljMKhmUO7cr z8nMjl/LQE48DH/N0XYaRpdbQ4m1JW1eAicDnYHdcyY6ygvRqdwAN5Hn6kj3Uh7f djIrrQTqtGuNMdHYPG2nvTTNNjCB1YmuwZRunBGAQt9dbWsbscnsZHo4voHMfAV0 y+YwXlD3Oo4KRGXS9OK8WOwwIv7FkDjKm/xRgwYBgyNFkqoAUvLAUCTpLmDCwIxf /rfncapMw/k+bP+5/RfTw1lpQbdZMMX9Noi3BYDFuwTwCPNLRqigqLc7W55CCiI2 w811dskoYRIbkWtPRc037CX/UGAYjpf5oTpmwcw98rxtna7C3L8ZHQIxEp81+rEd yhSJZkBn9ZlZkeaBwY0A5x9+q6kL/pJ6gVSWzlGVNbWNxSU6NxQSe0zkrnSJKIbi GiCRepO4jYqQfkOw4LVy21VsE9h6jHqtMoukeOEg15/F5jYe6+S32od6J3oL6yJ8 wz+7yjE77p1/kpaLFVVlzweehzq8fAHBy2QaPs8a7GrMKRg3o+7EciHm42LAIBm8 tKJfKuTAM/8zSpjMJty8FtQiTybeCmjThZ46U7qwKFWLkFMsOG4Af5pMofUf0HNx R7KCj4npNsNQWIFQNcw3 =5MGp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v--
