For about a month, I would not touch one of the desktop PCs in my room and use a laptop instead (even for the more task-intensive and gaming routines) and see how much would that affect the total power consumption. My computation was this -- a typical laptop would max out at 90watts in power consumption while a mid-range desktop PC (with a discrete GPU) would use up to around 500watts. If you use a netbook instead of a full-sized laptop, that's around 40watts/hour of power consumption and could drop your bill by another Php234 per month.
