RE: Electricity Bill - Now cheap / free electricity

["Christian Cundall \(UKHA\)" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Can I recommend Virgin Energy? They charge me just =A314 per month by direc= t
debit for both gas and electricity, I have two machines on 24x7 + some
chunkie aircon. They also don't read meter's.

Obviously you never know where you are with them and when they do finally get their act together I will have a heart attack - but till then .....

Their web site: = http://www.virginhome.co.uk/homeenergy/home.do

Mine is a 1.5 G with a 350w psu its atcualy using 518 w, two reasons the PSU's are usualy quoted as power output, not input, the input will me
