I didn't say CPUs always take 80 watts. But I believe that's not a bad number for the whole package, it's what I measured my server at. Not all California pays the 14 cents we pay here, I agree. > > 100 watts per year at average California prices is > about $83 bucks, and that ASSUMES it draws 100 > watts 24/7/365, which is not a valid assumption. Well, no, that is indeed what many always-on servers with 3 disk drives and a high speed processor and a fancy graphics card and various other cards do indeed draw, all day long. More when they are playing HD, transcoding or commercial eliminating, which they do several hours a day in many myth systems. The supposed average family that watches 6 hours/day (I think that's crazy but you keep seeing numbers like that) is going to use their CPU a lot. > with no documentation to back it up. How about my power bill? 14.1 cents per kwh. How about the specs on the components in the systems or power meters?
