I think most Americans pay between $0.20 and $0.40 per kWh.

I am lucky though that here it is only $0.06. But in summer months it goes to $0.14 for every kWh over 600. Staying under 1000 kwh's a month is hard to do.

Speaking of summer, if you're trying to cool the house with an air conditioner, you can multiply the effective wattage of the computer by 3.

True, that is a good point.

The average price of electricity in the US is $0.13. https://www.eia.gov/electricity/monthly/epm_table_grapher.cf... And you would have to be somewhere really remote to pay $0.40.
