Yep, that's a very real concern!

With my current electric bill, I have a modest budget at hand if
averaged out over a few years.  But if the payoff period is too long,
then it wouldn't be worth the effort to build something exotic.   And
there is a curve to it - where it becomes more and more expensive to
save increasingly smaller amounts of power, and the additional return
for the investment lessens.

... which brings me back to Netbooks and the combined frontend /
backend setup.   :-)
