I'm glad I'm not the only one concerned with unnecessary power usage. My SB3 is turned off when not in use -it only takes a few seconds to connect to the nerwork/slimserver so I don't see much justification in leaving on when not in use (I have a pefectly good watch and don't need another clock).
I have a Dell Optiplex as my Slimserver/fileserver. When not in use it is in 'standby' (9 watts power consumption). At night it is switched off by a scheduled task in Windows and turned on again in the morning by the Bios. OK, I know these power savings are trivial, but I see it as establishing a mind-set and the more it is encouraged, the more likely it is to spread to the institutions that can really have an impact.
