hi,

this power consumption seems very low. Isn't it with backlight off ?
I have the same type of extrem tweaking, with hdd spin down, no fan, 
512mo in 1 slot, and most of services stopped, I'm still at 9W doing 
nothing.
It is a 15" lcd, but I believe there is no 1.5W of difference, so do you 
know what I am missing ?
