[09:01] in winter ya [09:01] but a bit early now [09:01] indeed [09:03] its been a bit more common the last 5 years or so [09:04] blame it on global warming [09:04] we get the global freezing [09:04] yeah i can't remember much snow when i used to live in south africa [09:04] it was rare [09:16] some areas like natal never see snow except on the drakensburg [09:16] but its moving down lately [09:26] yeah, cape as well, its usually just the peaks if that, but last 5 years theres been a bit more in lower areas [09:27] but also these snow report people have been doing a good job of making people aware of it when it does happen I guess, so maybe it's just the media effect at play [09:28] good morning [09:28] MaNI: Try http://www.sustainable.co.za/ for the solar panels [09:29] Their prices pretty good I think [09:30] like R10/watt - http://www.gwstore.co.za/site/info/index.php?type=view_article&id=891 thats the best I've found so far R7/watt [09:30] Nice [09:31] but min order of 25 panels :( [09:31] >.< [09:32] hi magespawn [09:42] then to work out what inverter you will need too [09:42] http://www.sustainable.co.za/solar-power/solar-inverters.html [09:44] yeah [09:46] huge price fluctuation between brands on inverters === MaNI2 is now known as MaNI [09:50] https://mrzonbu.wordpress.com/2007/07/23/how-much-power-does-your-desktop-pc-use/ [09:50] he says under 175 watts but i dont know if that includes the screen [09:51] I doubt my desktop pc resembles the average one at all :P [09:51] ah youve built up your own [09:51] lol my home pc uses allot more [09:52] when playing games it consumes 400-450w [09:52] i thinks the 175 watts in box only [09:52] is [09:52] havent found what screens use [09:53] well I have 10 hard drives in it for starters :P [09:53] No a standard office pc with 18.5 inch screen uses about 175-200w [09:53] and yeah I'm sure if your graphics card is in full draw it will pull a much larger load [09:53] no man the screen runs off ac [09:53] thats a pentium duel core with on-board graphics and 4gb ram [09:53] We tested is when we got quotes for generators [09:54] but take it as max of 500w for box then find whats screens use [09:54] theres a site somewhere where you can put actual components for more realsitic estimate [09:54] screen and case used 175-200 in office use [09:54] its like 30w per harddrive or something [09:54] but you can use your power supply as an upper limit [09:55] if its a 400w power supply you can't possibly be using more than 400w etc. [09:55] Hard drives are usually about 10-15w per hdd [09:55] screens are about 170w I think [09:55] wow so min [09:56] Where you guys getting these figures from >.< [09:56] less [09:57] 45w [09:57] http://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-syncmaster-2333sw/specs/ [09:57] https://mrzonbu.wordpress.com/2007/07/23/how-much-power-does-your-desktop-pc-use/ [09:57] 18.5 uses about 20w if a modern led [09:57] hehe [09:57] had 170w in my head but thats probably from old CRTs [09:57] http://www.lg.com/ae/monitors/lg-19M35A/technical-specifications [09:58] Active power consumption `13w [09:58] i would have thought the screen uses more [09:58] its just a fancy light :P [09:59] hi nlsthzn [09:59] hey uncle Kilos ... [10:00] what does the ... mean [10:00] * Jacques_Stry waves [10:01] http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp < can use something like that to get a reasonable estimate for a specific pc [10:02] ... it means ... that I ... pressed the . three times ...
