    You should see a power condumption stat. on the monitor and on the machine..
    Im guessing its no more than 50W between them.
    The price of electricity should be quoted on your bill as a figure in kWH (Kilowatt Hours), or the electricity used by a 1000w device in 1 hour. Its normally a number of cents (10-15).
    Things like 5kW water heaters chew up the most..
    So, a 50W machine running for 100 hours = 0.05 * 100 = 5.00kWH which should be less than a dollar, and 100 hours is a long time to haver your machine on in a week. Say, $3 if you kept it on 24/7.
    QED ?
