That calculation only makes sense if you never shut down your computer, instead of only when you accidentally hit "restart" and need to go right away.

Lots of people leave their computers running 24/7, though. The TLC said the power draw would be small, so I just wanted to point out that what might look like a negligible amount of power can add up to be more than youd expect.
