<div><br></div><div>I was planning on getting one of these for the living room, but I've setup an old compaq SFF Pentium 4 PC with vdpau graphics and it seems to be doing well so far. In S3 suspend it only uses 4W, but when it's running it's more like 60W and playing back is around 70-80W I think. Which still isn't too bad. So I was just wondering if I could justify replacing it with one of these eMachines on the grounds of power consumption as an excuse to get one ;-)</div>
