Go green - building a sub-60W PC, video and article
Today we have published an article and a video on the same topic: building a sub-60W PC. Both the article and video provide information about choosing components as well as figures of power consumption for an average mid-range PC and a PC specifically designed to consume less power.

The video, Going green - building a sub-60W PC, is the most ambitious video project we have undertaken in many years. The video shows just how simple it is to build a PC that never consumes more than 60W.

The article contains even more facts and figures than the video. Do you know how much power your PC consumes when your doing something as simple as surfing the web?

The IT industry has been so focused, for so many years, on increasing the power, in terms of performance, that power consumption has been largely ignored.
