I came across what for me is a new idea - and a good one. Smart Power Strips. Take a look at one here.
The concept is simple. One outlet is a control, and when power is shut down on that outlet, the other outlets are also shut down. Very applicable to PC's (monitor, printer, router, etc.) as well as TV/video/DVD areas. The small power draw of transformers and the 'standby' state is small but adds up over the days, weeks, and months.
If anyone still needs a Christmas gift for me....
I read about these in The Simple Dollar - a web log on basic finance and living frugally (not the same as cheap). So far, I quite like it and agree with about 90%+ of the articles. Not bad for a man of my opinions!
