I've just run the numbers on my PC usage.
My PC uses about 300W on the desktop. That's a PC, peripherals, 3 monitors, network switch, and router. You can add another up to 350W when gaming. I'm paying 31.49p per kWh. So my PC use is about 10p / hour normally when not asleep and about 20p per hour when gaming.
My server & NAS & their switches use 163W. So 5.13p per hour, and £1.23 per day, £449.64 per year.
Both costs are not large, IMHO.
