Subject: How can I calculate what my computer costs me? How can
I calculate what my computer is costing me? I don't mean the
parts; I mean what it is costing me in electricity to run an ftp
server, or to run a gaming server.  I'm not really concerned
about the cost; I just would like to know how to calculate it.
Example System: 2200XP+, 1GB DDR333, 80GB HDD, nVidia Ti500, 2
Case Fans, 430W PSU, NIC, Sound Card, USB Card, Firewire Card,
Floppy, DVD drive, CDRW drive  Cost per kilowatt: $1.50 (not
sure what it is, just as an example)  Thank you,   well, work
out how much power it uses (maybe 150watts? = 0.15 kilowatts)
and then how much electricity costs you in price per kilowatt
hours, this is the amount it costs you to use a kilowatt for 1
hour.  now, multiply price per kilowatt hour by the amount of
kilowatts used (kilowatt = watt/1000) and now by time in hours,
or 24 to find cost per day
