Nice TV! HDMI? You got a nice receiver to plug it into?

Since some one left the Team because of an electric bill, I just thought I would remind people that LCD Tv's have a rated power constant draw of 200 watts even for the lowest 42 inch unit out there. CRT Tube TV's only draw about 85 watts on average for a 27 inch TV. Just to give you some realistic ideas I would rather spend those extra dollars on Crunching for the team then playing games, unless you signed up for Bewes, What Pulse or other program keystroke counter!

Just food for thought.

dude, lets look at it from this viewpoint. i just quit smoking(9 months ago) 2 packs of cigarettes a day(25 years) @ 8$ a pack which = ~$500/month! time to buy some toys. crunching is great, but RL is greater.

How can you compare a 42" TV current consumption to a 27" TV? A 42" tube would draw far more than a 42" and give off a LOT more heat.

I am holding out for the Sony XBR2 46 inch lcd. Gotta love that 1080p. I think I will hold out for a PS3 for a little while yet though...

btw Nflight, have you seen this forum?..

and here's an advance blurb on the client:

This advance utilizes the new Cell processor in Sony’s PLAYSTATION 3 (PS3) to achieve performance previously only possible on supercomputers. With this new technology (as well as new advances with GPUs), we will likely be able to attain performance on the ****100 gigaflop scale***** per computer.
