And lets not forget that some of these older machines use a lot less
power the the current beasts and therefore are not only cheaper to run
but are also much better for the environment!

I personally use xbox frontends and a c3 400mhz backend with two
pvr250's and it working great. I have measured the power consumption
on the backend and it used about 60 watt with two big hd's and the
above mentioned hardware.
