Btw, on a related note.

In the news today was an articel about how airco units use up to 25% more power if they aren't maintained even when they are only a few years old. So having your airco checked regularly is probably much more benefitial to the environment then trying to save energy with your PC monitor (which btw are getting more and more economical anyways thanks to laptop technology).

With car airco's I read an articel some time back that every year you loose a couple of % of the cooling gas due to the way the aircon works, so I can imagine that if after a few years you've lost 10% of 20% of the gas, the aircon might still work, but will need to work much harder to cool as much as it did when it was new.

So I guess regular maintenance can make a big difference.
