<div>Can I pipe up on the environmentalist point of view <snore mode on>...)?</div>
<div>Currently the amount of energy consumed by a PC in it's lifetime is about 80% during manufacture and only 20%</div>
<div>during its use.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What does this mean?</div>
<div>It means that buying second hand (or even saving it from the tip) is the greenest way to go, even with the newer lower power CPUs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And MythTV is a great use for old computers. As previous posters have said anything from 800Mhz (e.g. a P3) up will suit your *basic* needs... so get on ebay/Freecycle/Craig's list and find yourself a Mythtv bargain!

<div>Better for your pocket and better for the environment.</div>
