Who cares.

When it comes right down to it, in the US at least, power is pretty
damn cheap. Turning on a large system - say one that sucks up a couple
or three kW - for the weekend really does not cost all that much. And
it is for fun, right? How much do we spend taking a girl or the wife
out for dinner and a movie? It will be much more than what you spent
on electricity to feed your computer for a couple of days!
