You can get them from lots of places. Maplin has them in.

Keep the reports comming!

My A1200/DCE FF-SS/4GB IDE HD/Apollo1260/IDEx4/CD-rom sits at 35 Watt iddle, 47 Watt startup.

Without HD and CD it is at 30 Watt.

That is very low I think. Perhaps if I could undervolt the A1260?

Oh Wow... I had sketched something like that a few months ago. I thought it would be cool if the device could work out the Kilowatt/Hr after putting in your provider's rate and it would display (in currency) the cost so far used since the appliance has been switched on (i.e £0.23).

They're cheap at under £20 GBP incl. P&P. I'm going to buy loads.

If they're 13-Amp I suppose you could put a whole multi-socket onto that one plug to see what your combined printer, scanner, monitor & Amiga setup uses!

Somehow I don't think a Cyberstorm PPC would be a good companion to a solar powered house in the UK.

@Dennis

How many watts for a Minimig with a PAR: (or a built-in 4 player adapter in its place) ?

I'm afraid to even know what the drag of my system is on the local power grid .   haha    When I turn on my Amiga (fans, periphs, drives, etc..), I think the lights dim in the library across the street.  And thats not even counting the stereo!  ConEdison has us on the "platinum" plan.   :lol:    I have no idea how much the Amiga draws, but if its too much I can always turn off my PC!
