Every wonder how much your computer is costing you? The Power Cost Controller Power Strip is a nifty tool that allows you to both power and monitor your electrical appliances. The large LCD display calculates consumption and cost by the kilowatt-hour, same as your local utility. It also allows you to monitor the voltage, line frequency, and power factor. Yowzas! May not be the prettiest thing on the block, but for $99.99 the function just may outweigh the form.

Or you can get a Kill-a-watt for $25 or so and just plug your existing power strip into it. Or you could get four of them for $100, and measure power consumption on all sorts of things.
