Well, you will have to invest money to save money. You can buy "green" motherboards, low-power PSUs, small factor video cards( ATi rage 8mb is consuming as much power as my hand watch). Do not buy "green" disks tough, they save power in manner that you won`t like in your server
. You can run all of then on an pendrive(as root hdd) and buy small SAN/NAS solution for the applications and etc. You can tell us more about your idea, but I don`t think that there are many ways to save electricity with old hardware.
