Me, on the other, I live where it is very warm in the summer, and I use  
a swamp cooler to cool the house. If I'm not using my computer, I shut  
it off. Helps keep the house cool.

I'm seriously thinking about getting a room air conditioner now that I  
have moved everything into the small bedroom turned office - that way  
when it is 106 outside and the swamp cooler just has no way to keep up,  
it still can be comfortable in the office - but even then, you bet they  
will be off when not in use, why pay to cool heat generated by what is  
not being used?
