Don't be so sure. Through circumstances not entirely of my own choosing, I now 
run two servers: a "main" server which supplies dhcp, ltsp, tftp, etc and a 
dedicated mythtv master backend. Since I was forced to upgrade both motherboards 
over a nine-month period, my current setup now uses much less power than the 
three boxes they replace (and my two workstations are now diskless ltsp clients 
- bonus).

This also has the benefit that if I have to upgrade/tinker with the main box, I 
know that the myth server will sail on regardless.
