I remember working it out (very crudely as a guide) that for every watt it'd
cost you about £1 over the course of the year for 24/7 operation.

So, cutting as little as 10watts off the system power usage would equate to
a £10/year saving, or £50 over a 5year estimated life of the box.

Hope that helps,
