   I put my 040 mono cube on an ammeter a few months back, and found
that it draws 0.91A, at 114V.  It had a 660M Maxtor drive in it
(dead now) and an OD.  Thrashing the drives made no appreciable 
difference.  By simple multiplication, (which probably is technically
incorrect, but should be close) I figured that it uses about 75 KWH 
per month, if left on constantly.  At $0.062 per KWH, that works out
to $4.65 per month.  Does anyone know what the error in my figuring
is likely to be? I just used: (.91 X 114 X 24 X 30) / 1000 = 74.7 KWH.
