| 119547 | 2003-02-11 20:02:00 | LOL E.ric But don't forget that any calculation based on nominal power ratings rather than actual consumption is at best an approximation. Your unexpected enjoyment may in fact be cheaper than you think:D Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 119548 | 2003-02-11 20:13:00 | I think it is safe to say that an idle computer will be consuming much less that 150w. The drives are not a spinning. No lasers are a firing. The monitor is not keeping itself warm and firing electrons at the screen All that is actually running is a token amount of electronics that is waiting for something to do. This sort of thind tends to have a minamal power consumption. Perhaps someone could actually meter the power usage of their computer? If idle comps used 150w, my power bill would be HUGE .Clueless |
