Ok, a laptop breaks the "old pc" concept a little. It is definitely the
way to go. Its funny though, for me, 50 kw would cost a little over a
dollar. My new core 2 duo server only pulls 65 watts while on, the old
machine pulled 265! And to top it off my old machine had a power factor
of ~55, this one is 98-99. PG&E is expensive here!

Work out the electricity and AC costs and you won't think they are
so cheap.
This node I working on right now is a 1.1Ghz Celeron laptop. Power
consumption is probably about 50w. It is destined for an uncooled
part of the house (screened in porch) and will be powered on for about
100 hours / year.
That means the yearly electricity and AC costs will be approximately
30 *cents*.
