Interesting article in Tom;s Hardware this week....
http://www.tomshardware.com/howto/20050713/index.html Low Energy Costs (6 Ct / kWh) Average Energy Costs (9 Ct / kWh) High Energy Costs (25 Ct / kWh) Low-End, integrated graphics (75 W, 657 kWh) $39 $59 $164 Average System (120 W, 1051 kWh) $63 $95 $263 High-end, dual core, dual graphics (225 W, 1971 kWh) $118 $177 $493 This seems to contradict the earlier postings of 6.00 a year to run a PC 24X7 |

Harvey --
If you read the post in the Community-Maintained FAQ's Electricity Cost & Your Computer which showed the cost of $6.00 per year, you will see that the figure is not represented as the cost to run a PC 24X7 but is the incremental cost of running WCG on a PC that already runs 24X7. |
