Well, I do use a power strip which removes all power. And the switch on the PS does the same thing. There is an LED on the MB indicating when 5V stand-by power is available, and that light is off when the switch is off. I would make a power measurement of the usage when on standby but my son has borrowed my Kill-a-watt. -Denis > It's my experience that the CMOS battery lasts 2 to 3 years; I leave my > computers plugged in and "off" most of the time.
