However, if you go over a certain amount per billing period (in my area it's 1376 kWh) the price increases to 11.2 cents per kWh for anything above that limit. In comparison to around the world, I know we are on the low end of power cost. When I build a PC, I don't even think anything about its power requirements. Lately though I've been going to smaller form factors for convenience, and due to this I can take advantage of better energy efficiency. When I shop for appliances, etc. I do consider the power consumption. I guess I'm strange that way. Dan
