Whether the increased cost for Well, electricity is pretty expensive here in California. (Tip: move to Oregon :) Nevertheless, I've habitually left my computer on 24/7. But, the electricity use for the whole system is much more than that for the cpu 'box', and I only leave the 'box' on 24/7; I routinely turn the monitor off when it is not in use. With today's systems, the energy cost in running the monitor is just as much (if not more) than the cost of just the cpu box itself. And you might have fancy attachments like speakers, laser printers (those don't use all that much power when on unless they are printing, I would think). That's an additional factor to consider. > Randy Kramer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
