Interesting. I recall reading somewhere that the power it takes to power up a computer every time you turn it on is very close to the amount of energy it takes to leave it on all day. Not sure where I read that. I used to turn my computer off when I wasn't home, but now I leave it on 24/7. Maybe I'll try turning it off.
