      With electricity being cheaper then gas, having an Intel powered space heater that doubles as a gaming PC is more cost effective to heat my gaming room.

        I mean i dont know where you live, but the power bills are just getting higher and higher. Because of missmanaged energy grid of my country.

            I dont know from where you get all those cheap solar panels. On my house roof there is for 8 solar panels place and to get even with initial costs it would need to be 100% efficient for straight 5 years.

      Does AMD make a good low power CPU? Have been thinking of getting an N150 mini PC. Low price and very low power usage. Use it for self hosting a bit.

        The AI Max series is a beast and that with super low voltage + really good gaming, computing its just perfect. (See Framework desktop ) (For me a whole gaming pc, under 400 watts of power is a low powered pc. When a comparable intel + nvidia pc needs at least 700-900 watts

          Not sure if you understood my message, looking for something that is low power usage. Like tens of watts peak. Not many hundreds of them.
