<h2>Computer Peripherals Power Consumption</h2>

<p>
This web page documents a variety of computer peripherals and their power usage. Computers are now an essential part of our homes. You can take a look at these measurements to get an idea how much electricity your devices are using. These measurements will help you determine how much it costs to keep your computer peripherals running.
</p>

<p>
The measurements are taken using an electricity usage measurement device, such as a "Kill A Watt" (see "Related Links" below). If you measure the electricity usage of your automation devices, please update this page and add it to the list below.
