Maingear Touts New Rig As "Planet's Greenest Gaming PC"

Maingear has just unveiled what they are calling the "planet's greenest gaming PC." Built using a small form factor and coming with Intel's new Ion graphics as the default option, this little powerhouse is built with a definite eye toward energy consumption. "Said configuration is available with Intel Core 2 Duo CPUs and an 80+ certified 300-watt power supply; those who care more about frame rates than Ma Earth can opt for a GeForce 9800 GT ECO, which — despite being a discrete, power-hungry GPU — still swallows some 40 percent less power than a standard 9800 GT. You'll also find WiFi support, room for an optional Blu-ray drive and TV tuner, upwards of 8GB of RAM and room for a single 2.5-inch HDD or SSD. The whole box checks in at just 7.6- x 8.3- x 11.4-inches, and it's available for order right now starting at $799."

I own this thing, first model: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daewoo_Matiz

17 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h :) But it's perfectly adequate for driving in the city, and I've driven it to longer trips as well, without any issues. Hell, its top speed of 140 km/h is even more than it's legally allowed anywhere.
