That power saving is massive for the performance loss damn! Hope energy is pretty cheap there, or you got solar to help, I'd cry looking at my bill with that kinda power usage haha, it's still fairly bad here in the UK.
This post has also reminded me that I need to fetch and watch battlestar galactica!
power is crazy here, 0.256c KWH, it has gone up from 0.15c years ago.
I keep thinking about solar, but I hate that it takes 20 years to break even and by then you need to replace it. Plus I live with snow, so I got to pay someone every year to clean the snow off in bad storms. I am thinking about putting some off to the side though.
The reboot is sooooo good. Some of the best TV you will see.

I think the same a lot of the time, that and being able to afford it in the first place. But if I could afford it I'd probably do it on a moral basis and kinda ignore the ROI prospects. If it could manage 70% to breaking even I'D be fine with that honestly. Though in a few years time when the newest tech gets more affordable this could change.
