February 8, 2008, Newsletter Issue #102: Power for the PC

Tip of the Week

The PC power supply of the computer is the component that converts the electricity into energy the computer can use. This energy is measured in watts. Today´s powerful computers don´t need as much power as you think. The typical computer uses 200-300 watts. The typical coffee maker can use up to 1200. Even still, to prevent electrical damage from occurring during an electrical shortage it's probably best to connect your computer to a surge protector power strip.
