I have a :
Core 2 duo e6300
Gigabyte 965p ds3
2gb ddr2
I will have to get a PSU and a GPU
VS
New sandy bridge pentium
New Mobo
New 4gb ram
Is the Igpu enough for htpc duties?
The 2 x 3tb hard drives and PSU will have to be purchased no matter which system I go for.
My main question is how much will the savings in power usage be as a 24/7 HTPC cum NAS server. As the cost per KWH in singapore is 26.28 cents.
So will the difference in expense about 100SGD be recouped in power savings?
