The energystar folks at the US EPA who brought us the power settings GPO assistance also have a savings calculator spreadsheet. I'm not sure of its merits but thought I'd pass it along.

I'm more interested in getting some solid numbers on the savings per PC per month. I'm not really sure where to go in order to get these kinds of numbers. I've seen some general stuff out there that range between $25-$75/year per PC. But not how that was calculated.
