get yourself a Kill-A-Watt before making drastic measures.
you would be surprised how little a computer plus all monitors can use.
my Bunn Coffee maker costs me more per month then my computer.
and my desktop has 4 disk drives, big monitor, dual core, 4 gigs ram, all that jazz.
computers generally only use above 250 watts power when things kick in like playing a big game. other than that like surfing in windows they don't use much.
look into it.
