For most people, the biggest power user in their house is the Refrigerator/Freezer. It runs all the time. In many climates, it uses more power than the electric heat or A/C, because they are only used for three or four months a year. Now a hardcore gamer PC, with a 1000 watt power supply, might draw 250 watts all the time, so that can add up, altho not to what I'd consider "hefty". Such a PC is silly as a SlimServer, I've run mine on cast off computers for four (or maybe even five) years now. -- Pat http://www.pfarrell.com/music/slimserver/slimsoftware.html _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
