I think you'll find the power consumption of modern systems absolutely delightful compared to 8yo systems. I was amazed to see that server-grade xeon CPUs can be had for ~250USD, with a 77W TDP. 5-6 years ago, my Phenom 9650 was a 120TDP part for almost that much when not on sale. (Yes, I know Intel and AMD don't calculate their thermal data quite the same way, but it seems comperable enough.) -- :wq
