Here's something I've been curious about... Wanting to conserve a little bit of energy, I wanted to see about getting an AC outlet timer to run a power strip off of, and have my computer desk peripherals connected to it, so they are powered off during the night. Also for a few other things around the house. Problem is, the only ones I can find are cheap and only have two prong sockets. Does anyone know of any good AC outlet timers with three pronged sockets?? |
I said peripherals, not the computer itself. I am quite aware of the consequences of cutting power to a computer. ;) And as for them not burning much power, I read (and don't know how true it is) that your cell phone charger plugged in all year, charging your phone normally eats enough power when it does nothing to run a refridgerator for a month. You could definitely trim some fat by eliminating parasitic devices like that when they are not in use.
