Do the math and see if it makes sense.
Let's assume your office heater (computer) is drawing 400 W of power
nonstop (I rather doubt it's that much) and you cut its usage from 24
hours to 12. That's a savings of half the electric bill /for that
computer/, right?
So how much does that 200 W cost? 24 hours times 200 W is 4.8 kWh. A
rather high residential electric rate in the U.S. would be 15 cents per
kWh, so that would be 72 cents a day, or $21.60 per 30 days. If your
electric utility charges less, make the corresponding adjustment.
You'll have to decide if this savings is worth more or less than the
added risk to you; I can't say.
Now Chris is going to complain that I'm off topic, so I'll stop here.
