Switch themes.  No, really. ;)

I just got a Kill-A-Watt power meter, and I was playing with it after
connecting it to my desktop machine, which doubles as a remote
frontend/slave backend for my Myth system.  Here are some interesting
figures:

Main  menu - G.A.N.T.           - 87 watts
Main menu  - blue                  - 54 watts
Playback, 480x480 MPEG2 - 62 watts
