Computer Question

[Glasgow]

Well i am on the computer basically all day, and i was wondering if the computer costs much to keep on. I hear it doesnt but i need to know some more answers.

Depends on the amount of kw/per hour it takes.... and how much ur electric company charges for a kilawatt hour.... in the end.... probly about 30 bux a year or more.

depends on what type of computer also

my computer pulls 37W at idle (thats what it tells me anyway) and ~100 at full load

If your just downloading, chatting, or surfing the internet all day, then it would actually cost less than if you were playing high definition, 3D games for half a day. In any case, if you have a CRT monitor, then you should make sure you have a power saving mode for it - otherwise, it can burn up as much energy as the computer...
