now, this SHOULD draw less electricity since psu already more or less drawing majority anyway. just tryin to make my roommate stop lookin over at my shit & sayin how much juice it draws......like him, his wife & kids leavin EVERYTHING on dont draw more than what im doin......
Well, I hope your computer has an 80+ rated power supply. Otherwise you are not going to be saving much. Wall warts are notorious for being inefficient so an 80+ rates pc power supply will help on the efficiency and seriously help on the power factor. Your whole farm is drawing about the same power as a 100 watt light bulb so a more efficient power supply isn't going to save a whole lot.
I strongly recommend you invest in a kill-a-watt meter. You can get them for about 20 dollars at the local box store. They are great for resolving those types of conflicts. Put it on your mining rig for a day and measure how many kwhr it draws. Then hook up the TV his wife and kids leave on all the time for the same period of time. That should end his grumbling. If he still complains, figure out how much your rig is drawing and give him the two or three beers worth of electricity it is drawing each month
