But he said "green" green implies more then just low power.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23038564 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:41:34 EDT Re: My crappy 'green' setup http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23026202 NetAdmin :

oh god, i fing hate this green crap.
"oh god, i fing hate" people who dump on people who practice conservation instead of wasting power, water and resources. Yay for inefficiency!!!

On a more serious note, did it occur to you that maybe the OP did this "green setup" to save money on his electric bill?

If you are using more power then you should, reduce because it is costing you to much money .. not because you think some polar bear is going to have to take a longer swim.
The reason shouldn't concern you, as it's his setup.

you would be surprised how little a computer plus all monitors can use.

my Bunn Coffee maker costs me more per month then my computer.

and my desktop has 4 disk drives, big monitor, dual core, 4 gigs ram, all that jazz.

computers generally only use above 250 watts power when things kick in like playing a big game. other than that like surfing in windows they don't use much.

look into it.

I mention 350-650w, obviously not 1000w all the time.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22631503 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 22:43:36 EDT Re: My crappy 'green' setup http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626940 JoeG4 : That looks really cramped and awkward.

Your desktop probably wasn't using anywhere near 1000w, I'd bet more like 300-400 (and that's generous!)

Hrm.. ierno I guess that's a bit of a blanket statement, but I'd plug in a kill-a-watt type device and see what you get, I have a stinking suspicion it's in the neighborhood of 500 or less, unless you're playing crysis and overclocking every last bit of juice! ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626940 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 07:32:32 EDT Re: My crappy 'green' setup http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22626253 vd853 : Revised setup, I need a bigger screen...

Desktop = 350-650 watts (not including monitors and peripherals..)
