Samsung Launches Eco-friendly Desktops, System Opertation at 60W
Samsung announced two new desktop PCs, that drive the company's eco-friendly initiative. Pictured below, are two models: the MV100 Mini-Tower, and the MZ100 Slim-Tower (look at those dark cuboid objects). Both feature identical system specifications, they feature Intel processors, an Intel G43 chipset based motherboard, and a GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB graphics card. Optionally, the GeForce 9500 GS is also available. What sets these desktops apart, is the fact that they consume as less as 60W when in power-saving mode, and 1W in stand-by.

And nice IGP on that G43 will never be used....
looks just like a mini ITX/micro ATX system, i've made some that used 60W of power a few times for people now.
lol, damn companies are starting to catch up. I better start on the my next downsize.
I wonder what the power draw is when they comp is not in power saving mode?
Think of it this way, the average laptop power brick is 65W or 90W, so all they're doing is using laptop equivalent parts. (35W CPU, 1-2 sticks of ram, 2.5" HDD, onboard video/low power video)
edit: after re-reading the OP, you are right. the 60W is 'idling' which makes it a lot less impressive.
For example, a typical laptop with a yonah/merom processor and intel integrated graphics (i.e. most laptops built in the last 2 years) use around 30-35w under load.
beter start saving tho:p
