>Last week I set up the Kill-a-watt to measure all the electric I use in a

>in the morning and up to 4-5 hours in the evening. I turn off the monitor
>switch when the PC is turned off. The priniter is used occassionally and
>switched on only when needed. There are a few powered USB items, like a

>The PC is on more frequently on the weekend.

>For the week, the total usage was 11.8 kWH for an annual usage of 615 kwH,
>or at a rate of $0.10 / kwH about $61.50 per year.
