Hi all,

I have a silly question here - a series actually, about powersaving on PC.
How effective is the powersave option?

Suppose I set my machine to power-down the monitor, the HDD and everything
else, then after half hour, when everything is down, monitor is in sleep
mode and comp is not making noise - does it really save power. Aren't all
these powered actually by the power supply?

If the PS has AC input and DC output to many parts [including the HDD,
mainboard, chip], then does it really save incoming power? For desktops.

I hope I am understood correctly.
