[TriLUG] Power requirements

[Shawn Hood]

Estimated this when installing several machines on a tele-sales floor.

( Consumption (wattage) X 24 hrs X 30 days ) / 1000 * Rate (kWh)

Say my computer consumes 100 watts on a constant basis for one month. 
The rate here is .071/kWh.  This would equate to $5.112/month.  You
could use a wattmeter or decent multimeter to get accurate readings
for your computer.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
