What does 12W translate to in $ terms for 12 months use, knowing that most
PC's are not switched off at work.
I assume that the screen is most of the cost for electricity.

I remember at one point the Australian Government was
looking at getting into it bigtime. But it was mainly looking
at using a whole lot of Japanese Technology.
Yesterday my Raspberry-Pi arrived, which is a low power
linux device.
I'm quite interested to do a cost of ownership/energy study
to compare R-PI (which can run without fans or hard-drives)
to desktop PC's.
It would be interesting to know at what point would the
reduction in energy cost make changeover to a corporate
r-pi implementation viable.
In the last few days, I've been reading studies showing that
average power consumption of a PC is about 12W. Which
is not incredibly high.
