Do You Shut Your Computer Down At Night?

[sparsely]

mine stays on unless, with the occasional reboots for patching, software/hardware installs, etc.

I don't understand the complaint about electricity...we have three machines here, two of which are on almost 24/7, another is on occasionally, four people, 3 televisions, washer, dryer, etc...
and the electric bill is still only ~100$

i only shut it down while im not downloading

Just out of curiousity, does anyone in the UK know how much it costs to leave a PC on 24/7? Having a debate with my friends on this one...

well take the kW that it uses say 300W?

300/1000=0.3kW
0.3*24hrs=7.2kWh per day
7.2*7p=50.4p per day
50.4*365=£183.96 per annum


i guessed on the 300W, so modify if its not right not a lot, eh?
