Hello, I'm wondering what percentage of power a PM 9600/300 consumes in "sleep" mode versus "full-blown" on. I'm debating whether or not it's better to leave the box on all the time (as I assume the machine was designed for, but correct me if I'm wrong) or to switch it on/off two or three times daily. I'm trying to strike a balance between power consumption (I am in California, where electricity is at a premium) and wear-and-tear on the CPU/power supply. I've been led to believe that switching on/off constantly puts wear and tear on the machine (again, correct me if I'm wrong) which I can ill afford. I need to weigh any such wear-and-tear against an idle machine still gobbling up power.
