 Question about how much power a computer uses while on.
I am wondering, how much power and electricity do I use up when I leave my computer on all day?
Will I hike up the electric bill at the end of the month if its on for about 15 hours?
Someone please help.

I also heard that if you turn off the computer and keep turning it on like over the day it uses a tremendous amount of electricity than if it went on standby for the entire day.
