Super Media Store has the Kill-A-Watt Electricity Usage Monitor for $18 shipped with coupon code EL10P (does not require $25 for free shipping). This electricity detector/monitor can help you reduce your monthly electric bill. With it, you can see how much power those pesky power adapters are sucking up even when your devices are not in use.

    I don't know if $18 is a good deal, but I have one of these things and its pretty pimp. Have you ever wondered how many watts your PC REALLY uses? It says a 500w power supply, how much are you using? how much power does each monitor use? Well I tested it with mine. Pretty interesting. I even plugged in my free standing A/C unit and my 50" plasma. Good 411 if you're curious who is the energy waster in your pad.
