A CRT monitor uses £150 of electricity over five years; enough to pay for a new low-power LCD monitor. Using a screen saver, rather than turning the monitor off or using many computer' s built-in feature to turn monitors off after a period of inactivity, could cost £100 alone in a year. It was also discovered that turning a single laser printer off overnight and at weekends would save £70 over the life of the printer. Many others computers users however run 'distributed computing' projects while their computers are idle, such as the '@home' series of projects (including the well-known 'SETI@home').
