Electricity bills
I'm gonna be graduating from college in two months and will be getting an apartment. Out of curiosity, what is the average monthly electricity bill? And more importantly, how much would it change if I had 4 computers running 24/7?.

You guys obviously don't live in Texas. I have received a $350 electric bill for 3 straight months last summer. It stayed over 100 degrees for 29 days straight with NO accumulation of rain for 3 MONTHS. I have many electronics, but its nothing compared to having your air-conditioner having to stay on 24/7. If you turn it off during the day like most people do, you come back to a house that is about 89-90 degrees.
EDIT: It has been nice lately, its just those damn summers that kill.

$42 a month on average. Portland, Oregon with Gas heat, water heater, stove and dryer. Run the AC occasionally in the summer.
5 computers (inc. Firewall) running 24/7 with 5 people living in the house.
No real way to find out what the "average" monthly bill will be since everyone has different living habits which can affect the end bill. Do you like the TV on all the time? What about the stereo? Big Screen or 19" TV? Warm or cool house?
