I run a recent fluorescent. It sucks pretty much the same way the other systems did. I don't like the delay at lighting, the time it takes
I find the delay to be a small price for reduced power consumption.
I run a rack full of hardware, which is about 30-40 EUR worth of electricity/month. The lighting part doesn't even register on the financial radar.
Are you running servers from home? Or run a business out of your home? Processing something full time? Just curious why... When I lived in the dorms in college we ran tons of hardware and probably used more power than we needed to. When we moved off campus four of us were running [EMAIL PROTECTED] One month we all turned it off an our power bill dropped significantly (by roughly 20%). Since then we've all been a bit more conscientious about not running hardware that doesn't need to be run. Oh, and for you PS2 owners out there (and Xbox/Xbox360 owners) these systems "leak" tons of power in standby mode. Better to unplug them. Casey
