Funny you should say that: I went to all kinds of effort and expense
to build the very most powerful Xeon box I could afford.

What I didn't realize, was that it would generate so much heat that I
would not be able to tolerate its use with my window shut.  The box is
in my bedroom; if I should fall asleep while it is running, I will
awaken drenched in sweat.

For that reason, I plan to replace the standard Xeon CPU and FB-DIMM
memory with their low-power equivalents.  Happily my Supermicro
X7DWA-N motherboard is compatible with both standard and low-power
components.

It will cost a lot of money to replace them, but it didn't take long
for me to figure out that the low-power components would pay for
themselves within a year, because of lower energy costs.
