How does my computer affect my power bill?

Q. I have a computer running off a 400w PSU and it's always on. When I use my computer i usually push it pretty hard (gaming, video editing, photoshop), and i was wondering what sort of impact this has on my power bill.

A. i run a 1100 watt power supply and my pc is always on. plus a 28 inch lcd monitor . i dont even use the power saving options. as a matter of fact I turn all the power saving stuff off for performance and my bill isnt that high. its within normal .. but i must say i am very good about turning other lights off and things of that nature. I highly doubt 400 watts is going to make that big a diffrence though i would have to say somewhere in the nature of maybe 20 to 50 a month higher.. I very seriously doubt the higher end of that especially if you have a power saver on your pc which many do. it doesnt ALWAYS use 400 watts. and you have to have alot of things on it to max out that 400 watts..

i think youll be fine. like i said. ive been running 1100 watt power supplies and they are maxed and its not that much more. gaming is your most power hungry activity and how often will you game pushing it really hard.. just to let you know i run a 32 man server which is always full 24/7 and im always on the pc myself. and my bill is NEVER over 140.00 and i live in HIGH BILL MARYLAND. which just became the highest electric bill state in the country..BGE our electric bills went up 75 percent since last year because the state woudlnt let them raise the rate for ten years so its really went sky high. some people need vouchers in this state now.

hope this helps..

A. Dell's UltraSharp range of displays are a good mix of value and quality. The current models feature IPS panels, a vast array of inputs and can be calibrated well with 3rd party devices.

Check the Dell outlet store, call them on the phone, or check one of the many coupon sites for the best deals. You can save quite a bit over the online store prices.

Here is a list of all IPS displays that is usually up to date: http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/s-ips-lcd-list.php
