How much does it cost in energy and to the environment though? |

Even if the compressor and heat pump was running flat-out all night [1] that's about 1.5 to 2 pence per day. Or it put it another way, it's only a little more than my desktop PC plus its monitors. So "not much." Maybe even less than your VR racing rig. [1] even on a hot night, its duty cycle is more like 50%, and the other half of the time it's just running the fan at a cost of a few watts. |

So for the sake of the environment we should trash Myps VR Racing Rig? |
