      25 W idle * 1 year = 219kWh

      ANS * 0.21 EUR/kWh = 45.99 EUR

      I’d say that’s still a significant amount, even if you subtract from that amount the time you use the computer.

      Yeah, in this day and age, why even keep the computer running if there aren’t any important tasks running? I’ve always shut my computers down at the end of the day, but mainly because I’m poor and watch my bills very closely… :P
