I was wondering if anyone could give me an estimate on how many watts per
hour a computer might use while on, but not necessarily in use. There is no
power saving mode used either.  Its just sitting idle.
I believe its a 250 watt power supply, AMD athlon processor, cd rom and cd
burner, hard drive, floppy, kb, mouse, RAM, etc.  The monitor and the
computer stay on 24 hours a day. It belongs to my roommate so I was just
curious if I could save anything at all by turning it off at night or
something, or if its really not drawing that much electricity to even bother
with.
He uses an APC Back-Ups 500 also.
I personally turn mine off atleast at night and sometimes when I won't be
home all day.
Thanks to anyone that can help.
