Title: Kill-a-Watt Outlet Meters $5 off at Newegg Post by: fascistmuffin on June 19, 2011, 06:57:32 AM If anyone was looking at something that'd monitor outlet use, newegg has Kill a Watt meters on sale. I can vouch for these, as I used them in electrical engineering courses.

The LCD is not lit, and is really tough to read crouching down behind your computer desk with your neck turned to 1 side.
Simple solution? Hook it in to a nice thick extension cord, then hook that in to the wall then you can at least move the damn thing around under your desk until you can read it. Perhaps I should move my desk. Title: Re: Kill-a-Watt Outlet Meters $5 off at Newegg Post by: Chick on June 19, 2011, 07:07:07 AM Just a word of warning (not warning really)...

Perhaps they can screw this old model and push out a new one! ;D |
