I don't worry about juice either, particularly, but I do have a problem with heat, so I think about these things. The monitors produce the most heat, by far, so I shut them down. My 21" is on a Matrox millenium which, for the life of me, I can't get to go into power saver mode in NT (it did under Win 95). Spots, As I have said before and I guess people aren't paying attention. NT doesn't support APM. No monitor and video card by default will powerdown. from my research only one vendor makes a screensaver that can power down VESA energy star compliant monitors... I don't use this but tried it several years ago on another system and it worked as advertised. digconsys.com Sean
