Every use a Kill-a-Watt?

I calculated the energy consumption and cost of operating my Core i7 machine & 21" monitor (with Blackberry USB charger, external HDD AC adaptor plugged in) and it consumes approximately .2 KWH / hour. This translates to an energy cost of roughly $16.60464 per month. Assuming of course that I'm running it 24/hrs per day, which I'm not.

Pretty handy little device.

You turn your PC off when you are not on it?

Yes, I do. Previously, I used to leave it on but it's just a waste of energy and these days machines are so quick to boot anyway... it's not like I'm getting any benefit from leaving it on constantly.
