I have 2 PC’s that run 24/7…my server and my HTPC. I wish that my HTPC would correctly do S3, but it doesn’t. But as far as my power bill, before I had both running 24/7 and now that I do, I’ll bet there’s not $10 difference between the 2. My power bill fluctuates from month to month, and it has much more to do with how hot or how cold it stays outside causing my air or heat to run. That is what causes my power bill to stay in the $250/month range.
