This might help: I live in South Texas (Houston, to be exact), and run a Celeron-300 class machine, two dual-processor Celeron-600 class machines, two monitors, an array of peripherals, and two UPSs (all 24/7 except for the monitors, which are on about 10 hours a day)--and in the summertime heat my electric bill (average 10 cents/Kilowatt-hour) is still around $150 a month. So yes, the machines do eat a bit of electricity, but replace some standard incandescent bulbs with florescent, and it'll balance out.
