Hello, all,

Here is a simple question, especially for the Technies.  I want to get a
formula to figure out how much electricity I am spending on my
computer.  Recently, I've been having my PC on for 24 hours a day with
my modem hooked up to the local phone line 24 hours a day as well.  I
like to know how many kilowatts I consume and how much it would cost
me given the following configurations:

a) 220V power supply for my 386 PC,
b) 2400 modem hooked up to a local line 24 hours a day,
c) Nec Multisync II Monitor
d) Epson 9 pin printer turned on

Off hand I can't think of any thing else that the PC consumes, I
suspect the cost is relatively low since no literature hasv commented
on it indicate such costs are negligible in light of our average
monthly electric bill.  Is this true?

Thanks


Leung
