no.... computer takes very little even if run all the time. iliketv...i kno alot of ppl pumpin $1000 elec. every month for yrs..and they still doin it..I kno a lady whose electricity is $3000.00 (swear to god) and she been doin it for 1 yr..(not saying that's smart) but ppl these days especially in northern cali are cultivation so if they were gonna investigate they gotta investigate alot of ppl..they don't have time for that shiet..pge jus wants their money..My boi in LA said its a whole different story in so CAL. If ur elec. is high..their gonna raid u. so it all depends ur location and other factors but in bay area should be okay..2-3 1000w no problem at all...hope this is peace of mind
