Power consumption?

So a thought struck me....

"How much power does my computer use compared to some lights?"

I have a custom built computer with a 1000 Watt power supply. I'm curious how that 1000 watts compares to say a 1000 Watt grow light. The reason I wondered is my computer room gets really warm if I close the door and the window for any length of time.

Is it same-same? Or is there a difference? Can I shut down one of my non essential computers and turn on some lights and still have the same power bill?

do you leave your comps on 24/7 ??? if yes i can tell you that if you turn them off your bill will shrink a good 10 to 15% a month not to mention if your comps are generation that much heat you are more than likely running a fan or air conditioning to counter the heat that they are generating good luck

my server is on 24/7. But it's a small lower power system. My main computer uses a lot of power. In fact i think I've seen the neighbors lights dim when I crank this thing up and they live a mile away. LoL. Gotta love country living. My only access to the outside world from time to time is this damn computer.

your power comsumtion rates the same but the amps on the light will
be more than the computer.

and has won all his past political offices by default {obama } for crist sake i dont even think that biden really likes the guy either. he just wants more spotlight so he can spew his outlandish opinions and views on a bigger stage
