Building a Green PC
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."
The green movement is all a big money grab. Why do you think they call themselves after a color long associated with money?
I think you missed the bit where the article said "PC" and not "hideous green thing with rabbit ears." Besides, I'm certain there are even lowered powered PC's out there.
As long as children assemble computers for $1/hour in Asia
Damn these kids should be forced not to work and live in the slums! How dare they try to make money for themselves. $1 an hour is a disgusting amount, I have no idea how much stuff costs in these places but what ever it is $1 isn't enough! or its too much! Either way these large factories that do nothing but make things cheaply for the masses should be burned to the ground so that everyone has to go back to grubbing through bushes for berries and live in a swamp! Won't someone please think of the berry grubbers jobs??!!
