Back in October or November, Everex offered a Via ITX machine at Walmart with Gos Linux. A desktop for a mere $199. Even though the machine was placed in a much larger case than needed, it sold out in mere days... I'm not sure of its power requirements though. But yes, it is possible to offer low power consumption systmes. I'd like to see more companies offereing these. Again, this is why I am leaning towards the Ultra Mobile PCs like the Asus and Everex tiny laptops.

And of course, I say this despite my gaming system with SLI and a 550 watt power supply. At least I have a LCD screeen to help reduce.

I do use CFL lights in my house, except in areas that they're "off" colors disturb me, I just seem to be real sensitive to that. I have tried some replacements for flood lams, and all have failed in hours. I want to try LED bulbs as they come down in price. All in attempts to save me money more than be "green". If I can do both, so much the better.
