| Hello all. I was wondering could you tell me would my electricity bill be charged if i were to leave my computer on stand by instead of closing down the system every day. |

Yes it certainly would be.
TV, Computers, videos etc will use about £15.00 electric per year in standby mode.
On the other hand it's supposed to be better for the equipment leaving them on stand by.
Vince may have a better idea when he wakes up.  |

A CRT tube monitor or TV will still draw about 70% of its running current in stanby mode. LCD and plasmas are alot better at about 5%.
If possible turn them off when not in use.

I would love to sleep Scruff mate, but I only lay there awake when I get there. |
