I used to do that up until about a year ago. Since then I think I have
noticed a reduced utility bill, but of course that's not really
evidence as there are other factors, including lower rates because of
the drop in oil prices. This is an i7 system with an Nvidia card, an
SSD, a 1TB SATA drive and 16TGB of RAM, so probably above average for
home workstations in terms of power consumption. The monitor is a 23-
inch HP LCD.

If there were an easy way to measure it I would :-)
