I just got a device called Kill-a-Watt.
It measures electrical device power draw while running.
Anyway, I tested my Prescot PC and here are specs/results.
Prescott 3200
Gigabyte 3D-Cooler Pro
2-gigs DDR RAM - Corsair 2-2-2-5
ATI X800XT-PE
Gigabyte Mobo GA-8KNXP Ultra-64
Raptor 74gig drive
Maxtor 250gig drive
Plextor 712 DVD Burner
ATI TV-Wonder Pro
PCMCIA reader PCI-card
Antec TruePower 430watt PSU
4-80mm case fans
Advent PC speakers - pair
19" Viewsonic PF-790 CRT display
21" Hitachi CRT display
D-Link 604 Router
Panasonic Radio Tele-Phone Base unit
Motorolla Digital TV Tuner Cable Box Converter
All this plugged in and powered up, and running, and I am watching TV on one monitor and browsing internet on other.
All this going on, and the TOTAL POWER DRAW was 480 watts!
That is incredibally low, imo, considering that is less than output by my new PC's 550watt PSU!
I plan on testing further to see what just the PC draws, this is just preliminary results.
