Anyone have ideas of how to use less power for the stupid PC?

I've tried unpluging it, but my addication is too strong

wll turn off two lights and never turn them on again

that should make up for the power you comp uses

Getting a smaller power supply for your tower. Liquid cooling (due to your system running cooler and more efficiently you won't use as much power to run the hot cards/mobo/processor/hardrive).

Make sure you have a surge protector too, this doesn't just help in a thunderstorm it helps make sure your house isn't surging erratic amounts of electricity into your pc.

Many motherboards and computers are turning GREEN. But you have to PAY NICE BUCKS for the technology. Lower power motherboards etc. I do carry a line of lower power boards. Expect to pay about $200.00 more for the board. (A GOOD BOARD)

Purchase a power DIRECTOR. Tripp lite sells a nice one. you can turn off the computer, monitor, printer at your fingertips from the POWER SOURCE. so no power is going in. These directors sit under the monitor usually. Many have LOW POWER indicators or FAULT indicators.

They are about $70.00-130.00.. But they last for YEARS. I used one from 1982-2002 before the last transformer blew. they have great capacitors and transformers to block surges. BUT remember. MOST problems with computers are not surges, it's the low power. The power supply has to work harder in order to create enough electricity to power the system.

Remember the master power when done. There is a trickle of electricity hitting the power supply. Hit he master switch, no trickle.
