It's an entertaining 20 minutes :-) The thing I learnt the most, apart from the fact my PC setup consumes 300w when running, is that if I add up all the 1w 'idle' or 'standby' items in the house it totals about 30W. That's 30W just to power a load of sleeping electronics. My electricity meter has a flashing red LED that pulses depending on usage, I think a way of monitoring this would be fun.

Har själv funderat över hur mycket en sån kan tänkas dra eftersom jag planerar sätta upp egen server i min lägenhet också. Det kostar på att vara nörd:) 40W för servern var ju faktiskt förvånansvärt lite!
