Hallo and thank you for this discussion. I'm very interesting about power consumption, because its actual. Energy was +12% expensive from y. 2008 an will go more. Second think i don't like power hungry and noisy systems.
Back to Topic. I thinking about low power system or notebook.
Curently i have tested 2. HTTP systems and laptop. See the results :Idle
1. Aopen i975Xa+Core duo 1,[email protected],2x512mb DDr2, Ati x600@200/200, Seagate 200gb Ide 7200rpm 3.5', PSu Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480w = 76 w
2. Msi 915 speedster+Pentium M 1.86Ghz@800mhz(133x6)@0.7v- +2x512mb DDR2 533,IGP Intel i900, Seagate 200gb Ide 7200rpm 3.5, PSu Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480w = 55 w
3. Laptop IBM R40 with i855, Pentium M Banias 1,6Ghz@[email protected], 1x512mb DDR333,Ati Radeon 7500 32mb, 40 Gb 5400rpm Samsung 2.5' = 31w with 17 LCD Samsung 710T. Without LCD i assume 10w at idle

I don't like the consumption with both desktop. Aopen is hungry i975. But i expected with Msi i915 speedster consumption around 35-40w.

Its possible, when i switch PSU like Seasonic 300w with better efficiency and 2.5" hdd get to 30w?
Second solution is buy used laptop with low power consumption Vga like x700 or similar card. I dont know how will be power consumption then.
I guess 30w at idle ?
But this will be more expensive upgrade and without upgrade possibility.
Any ideas?
Thx for answering.
