Comment Use an old machine. (Score 1) 155
Depending on how much CPU grunt you need, you could pick up an old second-hand machine (maybe even for free). Re-use is better than recycling anyway.
My gateway is my old desktop from 1999. Celeron 300, 384Mb RAM, 4Gb + 40Gb disk, 2 network cards, modem. Measured the power usage for 3 months using a proper power meter (spinning wheel one like the power companies use to bill you). Ended up being almost exactly 30W averaged over that entire time.
