Of course this would negatively impact the price of the house I built in the suburbs....maybe it's not such a good idea after all :wink: Hehe. The whole suburb infrastructure has to be revised as soon as possible of course. It's a disastrous design that could only have been invented in the US free ...

One of the first "arcticles" for your site could be how to implement a consumption metric for computers. I don't know in the UK, but in Switzerland, and I think some other european countries there is a A-G scale that all household appliances and cars obligatorily have to display: see here. Computer...

Thanks for posting your system, Eunos! If I had lived in Australia, I'd certainly let you build a low power desktop suited to my personal needs. Right now, I have a 2.0 AMD Venice core, 1024 MB ram, Samsung Spinpoint 80 GB, Asus mobo in an Arctic Cooling Silentium (after reading the review here) wit...

So, to me, there are people who are willing to pay more simply to be more efficient and ecologically responsible (although I will add that the Prius has some other cool selling points), even if the $$$ doesn't quite add up.

The thing about something like this is that you're fighting the whole gargantuan industry, all the brainwashed people, the entren...

Thanks a lot for commenting, MikeC. Consider halcyon's comments in Radical rethink on green computing : 0) Don't use it, if you don't need it. Even more, don't buy it, unless you really need it. 1) absolute and average power draw limits set for the computer system (including peripherals and displays...

Thanks a lot for your quick answer, Devonovar. This is exactly what I was hoping for. Look, I know my idea sounds naive or plain stupid, but maybe that's due to its simplicity. I don't fool myself in thinking that my project is going to save the world and I don't want to start a business. All I want...

Hi all, First of all I'd like to say that I thoroughly enjoy this website and its forums. A whole new world has opened up for me. Great stuff. Because two know more than one I'd like to ask your thoughts on a project I'm planning. It's quite a simple plan. I want to start a website where people can ...
