WATTS UP : Reducing Power Consumption - GOING GREEN

So how much power does your PCs draw? How much more efficient are the new machines vs. the old machines??  And how do you figure that out the best options to go GREEN? You will be very surprised...

These are the problems what Grant in out Platform Adoption Center had to look into. He needed stronger/better/faster machines, but he was at capacity on his circuits, so he needed to do it without increasing power draw.

In this video, with the help from Adam from EDGE, Grant walks us through some of his methodology in measuring and benchmarking power consumption on a few machines, and shares the results with us.  It leads to some interesting conclusions, and some good food for thought for anyone trying to make energy conscious decisions around PC purchases.

  Do you worry about unnecessary power consumption when you leave your computers on when you’re not using

  Weird timing, I just did a post on power consumption as well: http://blogs.msdn.com/joshpoley/archive/2008/02/14/electrical-catastrophe-and-waste.aspx
