    When you buy something off craigslist and swap out half the parts it’s neither $250 nor pre-built.

      I think what they meant is that it was once a pre-built computer.

      I believe the swapping was done in order to show what could be done to improve its efficiency; how much you’d be missing out on.
      Their results were that they doesn’t decrease power usage by much and that even one of the cheapest modifications makes little financial sense under quite ideal conditions (German energy prices).
