| Get fancy with power metering: Flukso Just installed this nifty package to measure power consumption at the mains coming into the house. Over time I think I'll be able to spot when Core i7 load testing starts http://www.flukso.net/

| if you want to measure power at wall outlet, better get a €15 power meter from your local Brico

| I have 5 wall sockets in use atm and about 16 devices are connected to them, so a single €15 won't do (plus those aren't as fancy as a Fluksometer ) |

| Why wouldn't it work for my room ? It's just a matter of attaching the current clamp on the cable leaving the fuse box |

| yes wutske, you are correct, that should work. @Piotke: worth the investment if it helps you reduce overall costs by being able to keep an eye on your consumption
