My G4 generates a good bit of heat when it's been on for a while and can often bring the temperature of the room up a couple of degrees C. It gets too much in my (rather small) university bedroom though and for a while last year the temperature of the room was averaging 30C with the G4 on.

Hmm, I need to do some experiments. I measured power consumption for a G3 Beige, and working hard it consumed 65 watts. Alas, I don't have figures for a G4 yet but I'll make an effort to get them.
