I was just wondering how feasable a low power gaming machine would be without having to sacrifice performance.
Ive been looking into spending a load on a new PC but my concern is power consumption, you may say that if you can afford to spend a couple of thousand on a PC then you can afford the electric to run it and you may be right but that is no excuse just to burn electricity like there is no tomorrow.
My current pc is Q8200, GT240, couple of SATA2 hdds, 530W PSU, fans, peripherals and the like and it uses about 350W.
Is it possible to get better performance for the same or less amount of power consumption without resorting to laptops?
