People ask now and then about typical PC power consumption, so here are some figures off mine; I've installed a Kill-a-Watt meter at the wall outlet point. Powerware 1500VA double-conversion UPS - 45 watts Since it is always on with a fan and battery-charging, there is an overhead. Athlon X2 5200+, Nvidia 8600GT, one SATA HDD - 175 watts (including UPS). Westinghouse LVM-37W3 37" LCD monitor - 310 watts (including aforementioned). These readings are taken at idle.
