I once read it costs about 10 quid a month to power a pc 24/7.

Plus you don't need it on all the time, just power it on in the morning and off at night. They can also be useful if you download a lot so you can leave stuff going instead of leaving your main machine on for it. It can also be useful for backups. When I had my server all my data was nicely backed up so if I deleted anything I could get it back quickly and easily.

1. PC's draw varying loads of electricity.
2. Power costs different rates per kwh in different areas
3. Power supplies can be more effecient or less effecient.

No way you can predict "how much power it uses" without a UPS or kill-a-watt power meter.
 
thanks for all the help

i finally got around to posting the pictures (the photo editing computer/drill a hole in my case?)

i think i need to do a better job with wire management. well, i know i need to. my husband is home in a few days, though - and those perfectionist kinds of jobs are his. ;)

also, i forgot to hook the power up to the card reader - so when i open it to connect the power, i'll make sure my husband is around...

anyway, thanks again for all the help picking out the parts and what not. i had fun building it and i'm strangely disappointed that the job's done. so much so, that i'm volunteering to build one for my friend.

Nice pics you need to clean those cables up a little lol. That case is the Cooler Master Elite 310 right it looks nice more room then I would have thought. What GPU is that looks like a XFX 4850. Nice for you first build I know how you feel. I would build computers all day if I could.
 
few more updates with some light modification

new black tubing and new tube clamps

What are the temperature monitors connected to? It looks like one is stuck inside the heatsink.

they are both inline tempreture monitors, ive got one connected to tubing after cpu block then the other after the radiator!

i bought one for the cpu loop and other for gpu but i dont have gpu loop up and running yet so i thought i would use it anyway

nah im planning on liquid cooling it, thats why i got 2 inline tempreture monitors--and thanx

ive changed all the front fans to noctua's and they are soooo quiet, and i have cut all blue leds on remaining antec fans because im sick of the thing glowing up

sitting here all black and stealthy :)
 
Okay so its not a really good rig but I cant belive that I built this for the same money you can only buy a pc with the older amd phenom x3 2.1Ghz without a graphics card from the biggest pc shop chain in my country and they use cheap parts. I have learned a lot from my first build and enjoyed building it and it is being used for basics and very little gaming atm. (I will be changing the stock amd cooler soon, replacing the front 80mm to a 120mm fan)

That looks good. the cables aren't bad, but they could be better.
aah, listen to me. I haven't even tried cable management in my case yet. I'm going to go buy some cables ties tomorrow and sort out my computer.
 
Some nice computers in this thread. Once I get my computer done or get one lol Ill post a pic for now I got a brand new lap top (MAC)...
 
Here is some updated pics of mine. I added two cold cathodes and 5 new fans. Some RAM and another hard drive. Oh and I replaced the MX-2 on my HSF with AS5. Cable management is no more but it's not bad.

I have that same motherboard, it works really good for general purpose with not much overclocking.

Yea that motherboard is pretty good. It doesn't have many OC options that's the only thing I don't like about it. Also my 4850 covers almost all of the other PCI slots.

Eeew, stock cooler :P
Click to expand...

lol I know I'm going to get one soon. Right now I'm just not sure I don't know if I have room for one. The ram slots is so close to the CPU same with the north bridge. I am probably going to find the smallest one I can that still has good cooling.
