@Stan57 I have to agree. I have two 22" Samsung monitors I LOVE it. My main workstation is my baby Win7 Pro, Intel i7-920 with 8Gig of RAM and dual nVidia in SLI mode, 4 SATA drives giving me about 1.5 terrabytes. This is my Photoshop workstation. I have a Windows 2003 Server and A linux server ON ALL THE TIME...and my kids Win7 machines are on but go into sleep mode after they have backed up. I have a job (Thank God) and it pays well and I want to have my computer available. So pay for the power. Simple enough, if that were an issue than I would lower my standards. My personal laptop that I used to play with runs Kubuntu on a i3 with 4 Gig of RAM, and it's on but goes into sleep mode. (battery sucks it was a cheapy Acer 17" screen) but the power software on it has issues, and does not work nor does the screen dimmer software with Kubuntu. So I have been searching for a fix (one the crapped out the machine), but it's just a play machine, that I reformat.
