Gas range and water heating.
One Reverse Cycle AC (8Kw)
Fluro lighting in the main living areas.
One 68cm crt TV and one 40 inch Plama TV, two foxtel units , one dvd, game console and amplifier (all running 24/7 on standby at least).
One dishwasher (one load a day), one washing machine (load just about every day) and one drier (used every three days or so).

One server on 24/7
One PC that never gets turned off ( I wish they would at least hibernate it it at night)

Does anyone think that this power comsumption is over the top? How does your home stack up.
