How much does it cost to run a PC for one year continuously on
average?  What about a standard 17inch CRT?

Hello questionguy!
The answer to the question you're asking can be found at the following
page. Just click the link that says "power usage chart".

You will learn here that a PC that is always on costs between $48 and
$105 per year, while an always on 17-inch monitor costs $168.

The PC costs vary so much because system configuration greatly
influences how much power it uses. As you can see from the following
page, SCSI drives have a high energy consumptions; and so do CPU fans
used to overclock systems without burning them.

Also, bear in mind that costs can also be different depending on which
area you live on, as different electric companies charge different
rates. Anyway, the 12 cent per kWH figure mentioned in the chart above
seems to be the average.
