I left the kill-a-watt running for 10.88 hrs and consumed 2.83 kwh. This is
for two computers, two external drives, a router, LCD monitor, kvm switch,
and asdl modem. I wasn't home but I do run an irc server, mail server, and
a cron jobs during the day.
Dividing in half for one pc, I get 3.12 kwh day, 93.6 kwh month, or 9.36
dollars a month at .10 kwh .
