Saving power

I've finally found the right remote power controller for the right price which really doesn't wastes power.

I've found it at LIDL. It is a Mandolyn 9952, a set of:

• remote controller
• 3 remotely controlled sockets
• 1 remotely controlled dimmer

I've got my self two of these set, for 25€ each, and started setting them up. Here's my topology:

• Channel1: electronics at the living room; for now my old 32' CRT TV (16W standby) and my old XBox (9W just for being linked into the socked))
• Channel2: portable power adapters and networking; power adapter at the living room (9W), power adapter at the bed room (9W), ADSL modem + Wireless AP (26W)
  
• Channel 3: electronics at the bedroom; 20' CRT TV (16W)

I didn't make reference to my bedroom DVD and living room Home Cinema because they don't waste power on standby.

A word of advise to the range: all my (small) apartment is in range! That pretty cool, but comes with a price: hope my neighbor doesn't get nothing on these frequencies...

And here's the economical analysis, assuming I'm only using all of these 4 hours a day: (20/24) x (16 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 26 + 16) x 24 x 30 / 1000 x 0,12 = 6,12€ / month savings! I'll have my ROI back in 8 months. Try and find businesses with better ROI while helping to save the planet and let's still allows you to turn of your TV from your bed :)
