I wasn't sure whether to post here or in the computer forum but these two links about increased ESB bills were posted in the homes and gardens forum....

Our ESB bill has increased by maybe 50% over the last one and everyone's pointing the finger at each other! I know it's now winter but one person blames the daily use of the washing machine, another blames the (almost) constant use of TV, another blames the 3hr roast on a Sunday...
The unknown is the computer. It's an Intel Core 2 Quad @ 2.40Ghz (???) desktop computer and it's used for maybe 3 hours a day.
How bad are computers at using electricity?
TIA.
