My broker doesn't supply historical data, that's why I'm leaving my computer on.
I hope it doesn't consume a lot of power, I've got good components in there because I built the it to be silent that should help a little.
A typical PC draws about 300-400 watts. So it's like like leaving 4 lamps run with 100 watt bulbs. It's not going to break the bank.

A side benefit would be leaving it running reduces the jolt of power you get on initial startup which is rumored to reduce component wear inside.
