My Q700 draws 31W with no hard drive. 1 nubus network card, and 68 megs of RAM. Works out to about $3 worth of electricity per day where I live. I'm sure I burn more than 10 times that per month playing with the various "vintage" Macs in my house. Or from the mp3 server I have continually running behind my entertainment unit. I guess it's a good thing I keep the Quadra 900 and 950 in my closet and rarely use them!
Pickle - if you want to make an environmental statement, it seems to me that you should go after people "wasting" on the order of kWatts - not 25 Watts. -dmr On Thursday, February 6, 2003, at 04:56 PM, the pickle wrote: > At 14:10 -0800 on 06/02/03, Clark Martin wrote: > >> Actual power draw of a Q700 measured with a watt meter - 49 W. > >> FYI my SMC Barricade wireless router draws 5W. > > I'll take an 80% reduction in power consumption any day. > -- > > the pickle -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
