My last round of upgrades for the wife's and my desktops was entirely motivated by upgrading to lower power parts that provided the same (or better in the case of video cards) performance.

The office became noticeably cooler, it was a good upgrade.

This is entirely the reason I chose Intel and Nvidia over AMD/AMD. I run linux, and the open-source nature of AMD appeals to me, but I was so sick of the heat and the fan noise. Plus my old computer only ran at it's best during the winter.
