Combine computer nerdiness and eco friendly mindset

I never understand how anything works, and I was supposed to be the engineer of the family.
 
Well, I have a model plane that runs on compressed air using the sae type of piston that that boards fan run. Although in my plane I use a pump to fill up an air-tank on the plane and the compressed air exits to the cylinder, creating one half of the cycle by pushing the piston one way, then completing the cycle by pushing it the other.

The motherboard 'engine' just uses heated air in place of my compressed air. It is rather clever IMO.
 
To be honest computers have been getting better users of energy for donkeys years, its just now attaching the eco friendly line to these developments is commercial gold.
 

I am running a modest 520Watt Corsair HX520. It easily compares to 6-700 Watt PSU's as the power it supplies is clean and on the money. The 12 vdc rails are reading 12.01 vdc, 5 vdc are 4.98vdc and the 3vdc rail is right on the money at 3.00 vdc. All verified by a calibrated Fluke 87 III multimeter.

Add in my CPU at full whack runs at a timid 65watts, compared to my last chip (a socket 939 AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400 which sucked down 125 watts) it is a little gem.
