Our electricity is cheap overall. When I run my garage AC unit it cost right at a buck per hour. So for the cost of a six pack, I can be comfortable. No brainer, I am doing that. The heater is about 50 cents per hour in the winter.
With my wife's hobbies of the koi pond, and the African Ciclids in the indoor aquarium, there are pumps running all the time. The koi pond has the pump, and a UV light that run 24/7/356. The indoor aquarium has two pumps, and the lights are on during the hours we are up.
My computer is likely a power hog, and I really should find out how much juice it uses. With 7 case fans, 5 spinning hard drives, two video cards and each card has two fans, and i9 CPU and 256 Gig of RAM, it has to suck some juice just loafing along. When it is cranking it goes into higher power use no doubt. When I am not using it, I just put it to sleep. That still uses some power, just a lot less.
