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

OK, maybe it'll hit $2.50/mo. ;D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20712739 Sat, 28 Jun 2008 13:29:03 EDT Re: Power and $$$ http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20708601 Lenagainster : 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.

Of course, it isn't my primary desktop (not anymore, that is--it was back in 2002).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20701412 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:57:35 EDT
