Very interesting analysis and I hope it motivates more people to build
energy-efficient systems.
It looks like in your calculations you assume 10 cents/KWH. The amount of
$$ savings can be be significantly higher in certain parts of the country.
For example here in Massachusetts we pay 18 cents per KWH, so the total
savings over 3-4 year lifetime ($80/year * 4 years) would offset some of the
costs of a new system.
I notice that you mention that you have not tried HD. Does anyone have
experience building energy-efficient frontends that can support MPEG2
HD-playback?

Basically it'll save about $40/year in power. It's certainly not for
