HP and Intel have decided to unveil an array of energy-saving workstations. Recently, in San Francisco, the companies demonstrated two PCs - the DC 5800 and the DC 7800. The machines are designed for maximum power efficiency, and offer more efficient power supplies and software to better manage auto-shutdowns.

The DC 7800 features optional 16GB Sandisk solid-state hard disk. The drive will add $300 to the cost, but offers faster boot and load times and improved power efficiency. The new PCs also feature Surveyor, a tool which allows network administrators to gauge power consumption on large networks. The new PCs are part of HP's attempts to go green and be proud to own a green gremlin.
