For Linux users wondering how to control the monitor auto suspend or auto power
down, try:
xset dpms force standby
or
xset dpms force suspend
(See man page or --help for xset for more information and options.)
If you set this as a keyboard shortcut you can actually go into power saving
Hi!
[15W for my PIII933 Idle/Prime95]
Otherwise the increase in power consumption could be due to the FPU
being active. Based on my experience with CPU core temperature monitors
on PIII systems, I rather doubt that a PIII-933 FPU consumes as much as
15W above the normal load. I would think
My moral is: don't over look the benefits of the waste heat if you
live in a climate where you have to spend energy to keep warm. If you
live somewhere which requires the expenditure of energy to keep cool,
the balance may lie elsewhere.
LoL - thats really a point worth mentioning.

Better still, switch the monitor off when you're not using it :-)
Sure. At least get it to switch to standby mode when not required. The
problem with switching the monitor off with its own power switch is that you
may be asking for problems, as

To get a real feel for this value for money question,
surely you have to factor in the system depreciation
cost i.e. the difference between the purchase and
residual values plus the total cost of the power
consumed over the working

energy-monitor). That adds up
