a pc doesnt use too much electricity, which is dirt cheap anyway lolyou would be spending a lot of money extra on electricity.
what about servers. I run a few servers from my desktop, and my media centerHowever, having it on non-stop is not right.
err.... That not really much of an issue. I mean if you start worrying that all your electrical goods are suddenly going to burst into flames when your not looking then you'll have to turn of your frigde, your freezer, your tv (and not just on standy), your vcr, your dvd player, your hi fi (and not just on standby), your boiler (if electric). And a pcs wattage probably places it towards the middle to bottom of that short list.u risk getting ur home burn down if it is unattended. i would leave it next to something that will reduce fire like on a metal table or something not easy to catch fire or right under a water sprinkler or a fire alarm
i suppose it matters what you call high. i would say about $25 a month max. Remember that it will be idling most of the time. And you turn your monitor offand there is a high electricity bill
dont think it work like that, they calculate this number of hours by turning it on and off at the average rate. Its like a light bulb, they give you the number of hours it will run but that is based on the bulb being turned on and off an average number of times. If you never turn it off it will outlast the average hours (barring any power surge)parts like the power supply only last a certain number of hours
