Do the PCs "sleep" automagically? If so, you might toss that into your

Estimated this when installing several machines on a tele-sales floor.

( Consumption (wattage) X 24 hrs X 30 days ) / 1000 * Rate (kWh)

Say my computer consumes 100 watts on a constant basis for one month.
The rate here is .071/kWh.  This would equate to $5.112/month.  You
could use a wattmeter or decent multimeter to get accurate readings
for your computer.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Does anyone have any figures on estimated electrical costs to run one PC for
a month?

Thanks,
