Does anyone have any idea how much the electricity costs are to run a standard desktop PC for a year, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?
I plan to use a home automation server, which would be on all the time, although the monitor would be off. It would be on broadband connection & hard disk in use for video streaming.
I know it can be worked out from the PC PSU power rating, however is the PC always using maximum power or does it depend what the PC is doing i.e. more power consumption to spin drives, CDs etc?
Any info would be helpful, especially actual amounts that people have worked out from their electric bills.
TIA
