So I'm in the U.S., and I've heard that some other countries electricity is much more expensive but... here, I would worry about EITHER one of those setups at all... the Pi will probably sip less juice, but even if both above machines are on 24/7 I wouldn't notice any increase at all!! If you turn them off while not in use, even more so...

That being said, I don't 'notice' running some 5 Raspberry Pi's, 2 1U servers, an iMac and around 2-5 other laptops... and a house full of electronics - so I might use more power than most??? :P
