Power consumption of a pc?
Hi everyone, I was curious as to how much power a pc consumes. My dad and sister have recently gotten on my case about how the computer is on all the time and how it must be causing the electricity bill to go up.
I was always under the impression that as long as the monitor is off (which it is most of the time) the power consumption wasn't really all that high.
Can anyone give me a rough idea of how much energy my pc is taking up (maybe even compare it to another household appliance so I can get a rough comparison)?
Standard pc with nothing special coming out of it aside from an external hd.
If my pc really is hogging up the juice, then it'll stay on, but i'll pay for the 8-10 hours/day it's on but doing nothing but downloading.
