Unclean power and brownouts can damage some devices, and losing your work thanks to a brief power blip sucks. ]]>Jun 17th 2010 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/Jun 17th 2010 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/There's not a system in existence that needs 1kW.

The PSU only uses what your components are drawing. If you parts use 400w then this is the same on an 600w PSU and a 1kW PSU. The only other factor is its efficiency. ]]>Jun 17th 2010 3:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/

I wondered exactly how much power was required for that feature, so I hooked it up to a Kill A Watt to discover it was... 0w. It didn't even register (and the Kill A Watt is fairly sensitive).

I'm sure it's the same case with their energy monitor.]]>Jun 17th 2010 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/Jun 17th 2010 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/Jun 17th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/Jun 17th 2010 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/Jun 17th 2010 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/I was totally feeling you, right up until the processor quip.

I thought so too, but I think they just drop the decimal point when it's over $100.

Now I can ensure that my carbon footprint is way above average at all times and laugh at people who thing the climate natural changing is going to kill us all!]]>Jun 17th 2010 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/
Laugh all you like. There are a lot more reasons to use energy wisely than just climate change (which is happening, with or without your head in the sand).]]>Jun 17th 2010 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/Jun 17th 2010 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/
My head is only in the sand when they air Mohammed on Family Guy.]]>Jun 17th 2010 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/
My head isn't in the sand. Climate change is happening. We just didn't have anything to do with it just like it has been since the dawn of time.

I still haven't had a man-made climate change believer explain how the Vikings inhabited and farmed vast prairies that don't exist today because it is under ice in Greenland.

As long as I pay for the energy I use, I can use as much as I want. It's a simple product of supply and demand. If I want more, then someone will have to make it. If there isn't much there, then price goes up.

This product is for people who let guilt about things that aren't necessary run their lives.]]>Jun 17th 2010 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/I'm with you. The sun is much more powerful when it comes to altering our climate than all humanity, over the course of a year.

No, this product is for people who want to figure exactly what each item they're using is costing them, and come up with ways to reduce usage and save money. Not everyone just blindly pays whatever their electric company charges them every month; some of us like to save money for more important things.]]>Jun 17th 2010 3:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/Jun 17th 2010 6:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/Jun 17th 2010 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/

waste is subjective imo.]]>Jun 17th 2010 1:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/
I'm not "wasting" anything.

And if Engadget thinks I am.

Think of it as similar to one of those watch-battery powered calculators you have in the junk drawer.

Hey now that I think about it, I wonder how much power is wasted in the world due to lack of save points?

Not wasting your money on the Belkin Conserve lineup will make you blissfully unaware about all the electricity you're wasting.

For instance, my Kill A Watt let me know my home theater cost me about $50 a year in electricity drawn when all the devices were off! ]]>Jun 17th 2010 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/17/belkin-conserve-lineup-will-make-you-feel-even-worse-about-all-t/
I have my eye on that energy monitor now! I have a Kill A Watt, but it's often awkward to read if my wall outlets are in a confined or dark place. Having that wired monitor with big LCD readout attached to the cord is a killer feature!]]>Jun 17th 2010 6:46PM
