Wifey about the running cost so she happy.
£120 a year sounds a bit
high and seems to have been worked out just on
the maximum rating of
most
PSUs - for example:
We pay 5.17p/unit which would mean that a PC
over a
year uses 2321kw.
That works out at 6.5Kw/day or 260w/hr which is the
full
rating for most
PSUs.
Does anyone know what the actual draw of a
typical PC is once powered up
and running? I would have thought less
than
100w.
