Building a Green PC

Posted by kdawson on from the in-time-for-st.-patrick's dept.

Kermit writes "Ars Technica has put together a green DIY system building guide. The idea is to build a PC offering decent energy efficiency as well as solid performance. The 'Green Gaming Box' draws about 125W at full load (not including a monitor); the minimalist 'Extreme Green Box' uses a mini-ITX case and a VIA CPU-motherboard combo for about 30W at typical load. If you want to mix and match components, or modify your current system so that it uses less energy, there are plenty of options for swapping out individual components."

    .. so why should we care, there was a /. article a few days ago talking about the earth being vaporized so what are we saving exactly? Your new car you just bought will almost certainly be destroyed within 25 years, why don't you just crash it directly? What are you saving exactly?
