If the monitor is in sleep mode, 50 watts is probably a better estimate than 200 watts
for a desktop PC.

If seti is running on a machine that would be turned on anyway, the marginal
consumption is probably less than 5 watts.

interesting, how much do you think this has cost in electric bills?

852 yrs = 7.5e6 hrs * $0.08/kwh * 0.2 kw/PC =~ 120,000$ ?

who paid?
