George- You are running an old AT box; whereas, I believe most of us are using ATX, which can take advantage of APM to substantially reduce the power consumption when idling.HEI has a very screwy formula to calculate elec bills. But typically, we pay about 13 cents per KWH. From your data, it appears that the elec rate is less than 4 cents per KWH.

I tested my desktop computer today and found out that the maximum wattage consumed is 166. That equates to about $0.15 a day if it were left on for the full 24 hours. During the time I ran the test which was a few hours the operating cost was just one penny. But that's at Denver utility rates and there's lots of coal near here. Does anyone know the cost of a kilowatt hour in Hawaii?"W.
