"When I think of computing “Green” the first things that come to mind are “will I take a hit in performance and how much more will it cost me to build a computer using “Green” products. Then I take into consideration what I will be using the computer for; Gaming, Video Editing, Photo Editing or Work Station. I do it all on my home computer so I look for performance but can you get performance out of a “Green” computer?
Over the next few weeks Hi Tech Legion will be building and testing a “Green” Computer, the criteria for the build will be to compare and contrast differences in wattage used on a daily basis, performance while using common applications and ultimately gaming performance. This system will have to be able to play “Enthusiast” level games at acceptable frame rates (35FPS) at a resolution of 1680 X 1050 while using minimal Anitaliasing and Ansitropic Filtering.
Once all research has been completed and revealed Hi Tech Legion will be giving away the “Green” computer built for this study. The computer will be dubbed “The Lean Green Gaming Machine”
See our forums for further details on how to win “The Lean Green Gaming Machine""
