I was drinking + thinking the other day about how expensive it is to run various cooling setups.
For example a Eheim 1250 pump uses about 28Watts but what does this equate to in actual elecricity cost terms? By using a calculator to add up my total computer power usage i am using about a peak of 350 watts. So ... how would we calculate the wattage use (i.e. is this quoted amount per second or minute?)? and how much do we rougthly pay in the UK for 1watt of electricity?
The main reason i ask i that i was thinking of getting a peltier (220W TEC @ Vmax/Imax = 360W) but it seems to be quite a costly addition in the long run.

and its only 69% efective.... Keep in mind A standerd USA receptical can only handel 500 Wats! then the braker trips! and thats total! if you have other stuff on that braker then you have less wattage availabe! If I were to add up all the watts rated on my system Pluse the air conditioner on the same braker well....
