 Ar> Well, if your use horizon is far away then it makes sense to buy better
 Ar> hardware from the get go, specially if you intend to run it 24/7.

 Ar> That said, desktop systems skew the maths because those run a couple of

 Ar> cut costs or be ecogreen are talking about upgrading desktops. If you run
 Ar> the desktop 6 hours per day it will take you four times longer to recoup
 Ar> the investment. 

Of course, I was merely pointing out that if one person is upgrading that doesn't mean it goes unused... and yeah, I wouldn't suggest that anyone upgrade *just* for going more "green" as you're right, it's usually a falacy vs just using what is already built.  Same goes even more so for cars, I'd be more interrested in Electric for performance, speed and tech goodies.  They're generally pretty bad for the environment as a whole, let alone issues with power generation where they're already the most popular/trendy.
