Heat's a real problem in my industry (video production), too. By the time you've plugged in audio and video mixers, audio amplifier, several video monitors, and other equipment in, you're using 700 watts. Which isn't far off plugging in a 500 watt bar radiator, as far as warming up the room, goes. For my computers, I've stuck with old, low power, ~500 MHz Celerons to work my file and mail server. It's more than fast enough for that task, and doesn't use much power. I've one moderately powerful desktop and laptop computer. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
