I'm in Pasadena, but I don't have my electric bill in front of me. So I compared these 2 docs:<br>
<a href="http://ww2.cityofpasadena.net/waterandpower/pdf/ElectricRates062007.pdf" target="_blank">http://ww2.cityofpasadena.net/waterandpower/pdf/ElectricRates062007.pdf</a><br>

I admit, it is the low range.<br>

>>> For the cost of a good high-quality fan ($7-14) I replace the usually poor one that ships with the computer if I have spent the time to open the case. The savings in power and noise are bonus on top of the more efficient cooling you get with a better designed unit.<br>
