Use the power saving options with windows.. ..make sure that you have an energy star compliet monitor. (One that turns off after a set number of minutes. The monitor is the biggest hog out there, especially when it goes 17+ and up. 21"'s are a BIG HOG. ...put that system to sleep when you're not around.
There are new alternatives to incandescents. They have flouro's that screw into your regular sockets. I've saved $$ installing them, and you can't tell the difference. (Well the room isn't as hot, and you don't get that nasty YELLOW glow from your lamps)
Fact: A incandescent lightbulb gives off 5 times as much heat energy as it does light. Why they're still used is beyond me.
I went all flouro!
