Re: Power and $$$

Working backwards; at $2 per month and lets say the cost in your area is ten cents per KWH rather than the 14 cents per KWH in the DC area. $2 buys you 20 KWH of electricity. Given that there are (30 X 24) 720 hours in a month, your computer burns 20/720 = .0277778 KW or 28 watts of electricity.

A very efficient computer indeed. Do you have a monitor with that?

Yeah--an LCD, but it's usually off (obviously); old Celeron with a small, low-wattage PSU; cooling fans typically don't run--not hot enough.

OK, maybe it'll hit $2.50/mo. ;D

If you put your computer, monitor, printer, etc. on a APC it runs just like running ONE VCR.
