Me and my brother are looking at air conditioners for the room we have our PC's in - we literally sweat in here. There's one that looks good, it's "9000 BTU/hour".
There's also one that's "7000 BTU/hour" but, obviously, has less cooling power.
I've found this, to work out running costs;
Watts = Btu/hour x 0.293
So... the 7000 one uses 2051 Watts, and the 9000 one uses 2637 Watts... it sounds expensive?
My parents foot the bill, so I have no idea how much this is going to cost in electricity? I can't just go out and buy one if it's going to cost them a fortune to run
So based on the wattage, how do I know how much this will cost to run? 2,600 Watts does sound a lot - but I have no idea on the value of electricity! What do you reckon?
Cheers
