When we posted the story last week about rescuing rabbits, we were checking out the collective name for a group of rabbits (âherdâ is right, by the way, so is colony, husk, warren and others). In searching we stumbled across this page from our cousins over at the U.S. Geological Survey.
When it comes to home electronics, ENERGY STAR qualification focuses on the reduction of energy while the product is on standby mode rather than while powered on. To qualify for the ENERGY STAR label, DVD and Blu-Ray players must use a maximum of 1 watt on standby. Standard units use up to 10 watts in standby mode. DVD players come in a variety of sizes and have diverse sets of functionality. You can find DVD players that play a single disc or multiple discs, as well as those that update images in interlaced or progressive scan signals. The latest DVD players even allow for playing CDs, MP3s, and AVI video formats, as well as display JPG images. Some even have USB inputs.
up vote 4 down vote favorite. I'm deciding between a 500 watt PSU and a 600 watt PSU. I currently have a 460 watt PSU that powers everything but my dvd drive, spare hard drive, and 2 fans. I've determined 40 watts is enough to power my hard drive (approx 15 watts) and my DVD drive (approx 25 watts).Please correct me if these are bad estimates.ase fans usually use 1.8 Watts and are rated at 12 Volts. The molex connector that is usually used on the case fans is 12 Volts by standard (same as your Hard Drive and Optical Drives usually use).
