Energy is getting more and more expensive. So I am making most of my electricity by myself, and that's why I will need to drop this gaming rig too. It eats way too much. So mini-itx it is and small screen, total less than 50 watts at max load In my tiny machine I have under 2GHz CPU, 4 Gb ram, and SSD hardrive. Built in graphics. Using windows 7. It will be great for doing all work related stuff and perhaps for some turn based strategy games.
Also there is many other ppl who are using old PC's only because they can't afford to get new ones.
Could it be possible to get really low graphics mode to EVE? Just for flying in space and spinning ship in hangar? Pretty please? |

My computer has the energy usage of a small town. When I fire it up, the street lights in my neighborhood go out.
Totally wasted on EVE but nice for some of the other games I play.
I say kick it up a notch. Wow me with a serious graphical upgrade. Bring my rig to it's knees.
Don't waste programing on the whiny little people that think an iphone or net book is a gaming platform. Listen to me, and me alone.
Mr Epeen If you can read this, you haven't blocked me yet. |

I've never heard of someone having to use a lower-end setup because of the light bill. WoW. I would think there are many other ways to cut back on the electiric bill. Dropping the thermostat a few degrees works. Lights off during the day and in rooms you dont use at night.
Doing laundry on certain days instead of through out the week. But wow..
What in the **** is happening here.. Ever since Hellmars post.. Things have gotten more and more odd.. |

Yea, but OP is talking about concerving actual power on the bill by switching to a low-end setup. |
