Cool.  thanks.

I saw a special on this not long ago. They were discussing what major items in the household use for power. I'm no power expert and I'm just repeating what they said. They said that an average household pc running 24/7 uses approx $25 per year of electricity. Doesn't sound close to the figures stated above by FF but that's what they said. I suppose it depends on where you live and what time of day and the cost per kw in your area and a host of other figures. Just thought I'd throw in what I had heard on the tube.

You mean annually, right?...cos I run mine a good sixteen hours every day, and my bill outside of summer is easily under $20 a month.
