http://www.synergy.net.au/at_home/smartpower_sm1_tariff.xhtml 47.7c peak time - wish I could run a lead over to your place :) I run ~16hrs a day and power down when I am asleep. Once power gets to these levels you are forced to start rationalising. I use raspberry pi's for some functions that need 24hr uptime (IP security camera image storage etc.) and moved to a cisco router instead of my former (and better) gentoo based firewall router.
