| 160091 | 2003-07-15 21:30:00 | I'm not sure if this question has been asked before, but around how much power in $ terms I am expected to pay extra if I have my PC on 24/7 ? Say in a month period :) Thanks :) |

| 160092 | 2003-07-15 22:32:00 | This was given a lot of attention about a month ago. In your case, the answer is "how long is a piece of string?" As we have no idea what you actually have going 24/7 ??? Look on the back of you monitor for the Wattage (W) rating. Allow about 200 W for your PC. Look at the W rating for anything else you have going. Multiply the total Watts x the Hours run per month Divide the total by 1,000 and the answer is Units (kWh) of power. Multiply that by the rate you presently pay for power, from the power bill. |

| 160094 | 2003-07-16 01:19:00 | *Cough* How long is a piece of string? For a suitable incentive I will reveal my method for determioning the answer for just that question. Guaranteed accurate to ± 2mm or double your money back. Cheers Billy 8-{) :| |
