was just wondering, since ive begun leaving my computer on overnight. what could i do to save the most energy? my last energy bill was like double what it is usually .. =\
 
Well yes basically, they wont be running, but the information will be stored in your ram so when you leave suspend to ram mode, it will take a few seconds for everything to load back up.
 
All i can think of is set it so your monitor powers down after X amount of time, if you want programs to run your hard drive, cpu etc still needs to be powered up.
 
Just double checking, do you have a CRT and have you set it to turn off? Because that takes up more energy then anything else.
 
yeah... your computer should be the last of your worries, it draws very little power. Turn off all your speakers/monitors/lights and let it download...
 
ahh thanks for the replies guys. i guess ill be leaving my computer on everynight then haha =) yeah i have a CRT monitor. i usually turn it off when i go to sleep as it shines throughout the whole house. does anyone know how much an average tv consumes? would it be alot more than my pc?
