Is Energy Conservation A Factor While Purchasing PC Parts?

[Motoxrdude]

computers do not really draw that much power.

Antec did release "Green" power supplies though.

They draw about 250W which is quite a bit when you consider it costs about 22 cents per 100 watt hour.

Yup they're called the "Earthwatt" series

I have one, they're pretty nice

Aren't their "green" power supplies just 80 plus ones?

Yup they're 80+

Who wouldn't want a unefficient PSU? Nearly all quality units are efficient. GFX? ATi usually sucks the most power. nVidia is more energy conserving...

Western Digital did make a energy saving HDD if I'm not mistaken...

In my opinion, using a LCD over a CRT saves enough power
