I've got an Electrisave, it's great. You really do notice what's  
going on and reduce: "wow, the computer uses *that* much when I leave  
CPU usage as automatic rather than reduced", or "that's looking a bit  
high - ohhh, I forgot to turn my amp off" kinda thing.

If you want to borrow it for a few days to see how much electric  
you're using, you're welcome.
