Symbio Technologies offers a stateless thin client that utilizes 4 watts of electricity. Also, because it is 100% solid state, fanless, and stateless (no operating systems, applications, file systems, or network addresses), it does not become obsolete in just 4 years (like many of the embedded OS varieties do). It can last through a number of typical "refresh" (ie throw away) cycles. It is real.

If a savings is still there, great, but you can't just show half of the calculation for savings when we all understand that the processing power and storage are shifted to servers and SAN's.
