I personally equate the gaudy, over LEDed, big windowed, plastic chrome, 67 cooling fan monstrosities with the riced rocket Honda Civics a la Fast and the Furious. Lots of questionable bolt ons with zero gain in performance or usefulness.

I don't think Apple systems would be nearly as popular if they left their simple, clean look.]]>Mar 2nd 2009 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/Mar 2nd 2009 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/Mar 2nd 2009 1:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/

Right now I can only think of one reason someone would absolutely need a floppy: HDC/RAID drivers. Even then I think most people would integrate the drivers into their installation media...

For the whole year.

Then for the lifespan of the computer (might be up to 5+ years depending on circumstances).

That's incredibly useless. That roughly equals your computer (@250W) being on for 0.7% of the year.]]>Mar 1st 2009 11:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/
In total that's 130*24+235*16 = 6880 hours of off-time per year. At 4W that's 27.5 kWh per year. Not a lot, but if the computer is moderately efficient when it's on and only uses 100W on average, the when-it's-on usage is 188 kWh. Still using 4W when off would then account for about 13% of power consumption.

So anyhow - I agree that the first thing to concentrate on is average power consumption when the computer's on - first order of business would be to drop that to the 30W region for a typical office-use PC, which current nettops achieve. These things are running Word (and probably Word 2003), not Crysis. But once you get the 'on-power' down you want to make sure it doesn't waste power when it's off, too, because the 'off-power' will be a higher proportion.

Where did your 250W come from btw? Are there really common office desktops that average (not max) 250W consumption? That's pretty scary if so...]]>Mar 2nd 2009 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/01/fujitsu-siemens-introduces-zero-watt-esprimo-7935-pc/

When I unplug my pc, it consumes zero watts also. I think this is either a typo, or making news of
nothing new.
