A Computer system running on 8 watts


















I'm deeply suspicious of Green Computing concepts which promise an end to the issues plaguing our paradigm of endlessly updating. Dell's latest 'Regeneration' finalists are all fine examples of this (Note: Dell's removal of some of the more scathing indictment comments). With no other realistic route of innovation, minimization is the only reasonable route to pursue, and this 8-watt PC is a fine example. Running a cut-down version of Linux with down-clocked hardware in a small computer housing, this machine fulfils most modern day PC requirements at a small fraction of the power consumption.
