Installed a simple standby-killer!
It was time to clean behind my computer so I took the opportunity to install a Universal AutoPowerOff from SavePower. It's a power strip that kills the computer accessories when the computer is shut down. Saves some power, but for me mostly a question of laziness.
Just a idea if anyone of you has large monitors etc that drains a lot of electricity when in standby mode. Also a little DIY /Caffe

How much power are you saving by using the power strip?
I know my entire computer setup uses about 10-11W while off or in standby. A new smart power strip is on the list of things to get.
