I'm keeping an eye out for a good deal on an Intel NUC. I don't game on a desktop anymore, so the built in GPU on the Intel processors will be plenty enough to run my HTPC and media server.
My 5 year old full height tower PC consumes 40 watts at idle, and I leave it on at all times since it has a Plex server people like to use. It's running an i5-3570k CPU and 8GB RAM.
I can't justify upgrading though, because even though the PC is 5 years old, it's plenty fast enough to handle anything I want to do, including photo and video editing, and movie transcoding.
