I bought a power monitor at the Bunnings. Through the holiday, I did try it with my own computer, my desk lamp and my external hard drive. I still don't get how to the monitor by the way, just very little. So I will write down what I've gotten.
- My computer - Core 2 quad - 300W power source
19.48 pm : 77.2W | over 1 hour : 69.2W - 79.8W, sometimes it jumped up 83.2 (20.48 pm) | 20.48 : 0.2kWh ($2.04 - I don't understand where the money is calculated from?)
- Lamp - small black 30W
Beginning : 0.16 AMP (I don't know what it is???) | 36.1W - 36.4W
After 1 hour 4 minutes : 36.5W - 36.8W
After 1 hour 30 minutes : total money costs $1.14; and about kWh, zero zero zero @_@
- External Hard Drive - 1.5Tb Seagate
3h05 pm : 3.3W | 229V - 234V
6.15 pm : total cost $3.13
3.55 am next day : total cost $12.51
10.05 pm next day : total cost $30.98
I forgot all the time to plug it out, so the money up to now = $191.54, I would say "Wow!" After about one week.
