Do you know these things ?-"Energy Usage of computers"

It is said that a typical desktop computer uses about 65 to 250 watts.When your computer sleeps ("standby") the the computer utilizes 1-6 watts. A screen saver that shows any image on the screen doesn't save any energy at all -- you save energy only if the monitor goes dark by going into standby mode.If you turn the monitor off at the switch it will use 0 to 10 watts.
Laptop computers use about 15-45 watts, far less than desktops.

So what can you do?

• You can set power settings of your computer in such a way that monitor goes sleep after few minutes(eg:20 mins)
• If you can use a LCD monitor.It uses less energy.
• Turn off your computer when you finish your work for day.
• Laptops also consumes less energy. (So its time to buy a Laptop..Isn't it? :))
