If absolute raw power is not mandatory, you may have a look at
Atom-based servers -like
http://www.supermicro.es/?opcion=contenido&plt=notas&id=137 for example-.
This servers consumption should make a difference when working on
renovable energy sources.

With all this talk about power reduction...I'm going to toss out one
small suggestion:
Get a Wattmeter, and measure... Don't waste your time speculating.
Hello,
I did. It's consuming some 90 Watts at idle.
Actually, it's an Athlon but the latest Sempron has an even reduced TDP.
My next server will be based on it.
Actually even 70 Watts is a little bit high for my next server given the fact
it will be in an autonomous environment (small wind/solar generators).
Regards
