I don't rally have a clue how much power any of my computers use, nor how to find out. I don't pay the electricity bill at home anyway! Razz I don't leave computers running all the time though as that just causes unnecessary wear on them, and also my Acer in particular is very noisy and heats up quite a lot if you leave it running - I put them in standby mode or shut them down if I don't need to use them for a while. Presumably my G3 uses the most power of any of my Macs, given that it's the only tower and has lots of drives in it.
