Thanks for posting the standby currents. So that's equivalent to a 60W light bulb for keeping a G68 and G98 in standby. Plus the speakers...

Not sure where you get the 500W waste every year!

By my reckoning, 30W x 24hours x 365days = 262.8 kW per year energy consumption.

According to EDF, thats 0.138 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Here I pay approx 10p per kWh so that's about �26 for leaving one G series unit in standby - ignoring overnight tariff. I am sure that one could easily get that to over �100 so a turning these things off at the mains would save a lot of money, unnecessary energy waste and reduce CO2 emissions.

OMG - I have just turned eco warrior.

BTW. Maplins power meter is on special at the moment at �14.99 until 23/01/07 - reduced from �26.99.
