I tested my desktop computer today and found out that the maximum
wattage consumed is 166.  That equates to about  $0.15 a day if it were
left on for the full 24 hours.  During the time I ran the test which was
a few hours the operating cost was just one penny.  But that's at Denver
utility rates and there's lots of coal near here.  Does anyone know the
cost of a kilowatt hour in Hawaii?
