34. SCREEN SAVER and POWER OPTIONS:

Go to Start > Control Panel, click on Power Options

The best choice is Power Options: Set your: Turn off monitor: in 10 minutes. Turn off your hard disks: in 15 minutes.

Please do not use a screen saver it wears out your monitor, increases you electric bill, and pulls lint through your computer.

Computer watts:
Hard Drive 5 to 25
CPU 20 to 45
17 or 19" Monitor 80 to 150

A well-equipped PC running at full steam will burn from 200 to 300 watts.

You'll conserve most by using Power Options.
This is much better than running a screen saver.
