Have you ever wondered how much you are spending in electricity costs by leaving your computer(s) and servers powered on overnight? 

I’ve often wondered this myself.   Last year, Jeff Atwood of Coding Horror took the time to determine the costs of leaving your computer on, and I think you’ll be surprised to see how much this is costing you.  Jeff also looks at ways to lower your electricity costs.  

I don’t even want to think about what I spend powering 4 computers, charging two laptops, a router, a modem, and my various other gadgets.   As an online gamer, I also have pretty intense video cards and generally use the brightest settings my computer will allow.   I will definitely be rethinking the way I have some things set up!  :)
