OK, thanks for assure me.  ...anyway what is the formula in UK? (in
Slovakia/Czech = U=voltage, I=current, cos (fi)=efficiency)

...Yes it is pretty much, but it is impossible have lower power consumption
for standart (cheap) PC. I heard that some people try regulate the speed of
FAN but i think this is not solution how save energy. (good fan use 1 - 2W)
...if fan isnt working temper. is higher and therefore consumption of CPU is
higher... there is no saving...
