Power consumption: How much are your gadgets costing you?

With Earth Hour making us aware of the need to conserve electricity, we conduct a real-world test to see just how much our TVs, computers and other home electronics equipment costs to run.

LaCie Biggest FW800

If you need the fast throughput of a locally connected RAID setup, the LaCie Biggest FW800 is a good choice, but if you don't mind the slower transfer speeds of Ethernet, a NAS RAID can be less expensive and offer more features.

Reviews

LaCie FireWire speakers

Looking like they've been plucked from the deck of a cruise ship, LaCie's FireWire speakers sound great, but are best suited to party animals who like a lot of volume.
Asus PW201

The entertainment-oriented Asus PW201 offers superior image quality and an impressive collection of video connections, but it costs more than competing 20-inch wide-screen LCDs and includes a Webcam that suffers from buggy software.
Samsung SyncMaster 204B

The Samsung SyncMaster 204B can handle productivity and entertainment tasks, but there are less expensive alternatives that offer comparable image quality and superior features.
ViewSonic VX2025wm

The ViewSonic VX2025wm may not win the gymnastics event in the monitor Olympics, but this 20-inch wide-screen LCD offers excellent performance and built-in speakers, making it the best deal in its category.
LaCie 319

The LaCie 319 has excellent image quality, but its high price and advanced features make it an LCD that only real graphics pros should consider.
LaCie 321

Spot-on colour, high brightness, and advanced adjustment options make this 21-inch LCD a worthy rival to even the best CRTs.
BenQ FP2091

This 20-incher is pricey, but you get a lot of bang for your buck.
