Five years on 500 watts!!!!!!! Holy cow! You are to be admired!

The i7 3770 is quite energy efficient and still fast enough, even after all these years Vue rendering kicks into turbo mode 3.7Ghz is nice.

A few weeks back I bought a refurbished Dell workstation. Not for Vue, but for digital painting. It runs Vue and Poser well. The i7 is on par with my desktop and it has an Nvidia Quadro. 32Gb's of Ram and SSD. My desktop is maxed at 16Gb and has no SSD.

Best of all.... 200 watts only, yet the power of my desktop. My energy bill will be even less in the next 5 years

Due to the childish TOS changes, I'm not allowed to link to my other products outside of Rendo anymore :(

Food for thought.....
