I am living with 2 friends, our power bill has gone up like 30% now up to like 350$ a month, we do live in a big house however its just 3 people here, I have my i7 system that I keep running 18 hours a day, how much a month, rounded or a close guess would you say my computer running would cost? I have my specs in my signature, just an i7 930 @ 4ghz 6gb ddr3 1600 and a 5830. Would it be like 30-40$ a month that my system is costing? or 20$ a month? I am just curious because I doubt that my system is using 100$ + a month, I don't want to be responsible for that extra power being used.
Also what would the difference per month be if a system is idle 24/7 or if the system is prime 95 24/7 with an average 500 watt load?
