In Illinois they are raising the electric rates. Anyone have an idea how high and how much it'll cost to run a video game 24/7? |

I always heard it was about the same as running a fridge. No biggie. Even with all the games I had, I never noticed any real spike in the electric bills. Then again, I didn't run 'em all the time. You probably shouldn't, too, if it is a classic with all original components. fire >:D fire |

I've heard numbers from 10% to double. I guess we'll see. |
