600W

I guess not too bad then.  We have a hot tub (only runs during the day in
an
Econ mode) that pulls in excess of 3.5KW so need to kind of
"offset" that
somewhat!

I agree regarding the behavior modifier - I used to keep a PC on "just
in
case" that I could walk up to and use - not anymore.

We also had a Win XP MCE m/c that was effectively on 24/7 as the auto
hibernate did not work too well - we swapped that in Oct/Nov for SkyHD.
Much more reliable but I think the user interface is pants compared to MCE
(which itself is not as good as TiVO was).
