There are some PCs out now that use <10watts while running.

Unfortunately the monitor will use a lot more!


There are some 17 inch monitors which will run around the 20 Watt mark. I have recently replaced my computer monitor with a LG Flatron M227WD 22 inch Widescreen which runs at around 33 Watts. It also doubles up as a replacement portable 1080 HDTV as well with its inbuilt DVB-T digital TV tuner. It even has an optical audio output so I can connect it to my upscaling Cambridge Audio DAC Magic and Trends TA-10.1 Amp for superb digital radio performance as well. grin

Replacing the Mobo and Processor for my elderly 6 year old computer (just looked on my current C:\ drive and can see files there dating back to 2003) is getting to be much more of a challenge trying to get the best performance, energy efficiency and cost mix right. Plus I need something to handle the 100 Meg Broadband which will be available by the end of year as part of the local fibre city project. At last some decent Broadband speeds should be available keeping up with the rest of the world.
