I realize that there are variations in power consumption and configurations. For example for sound one could have in-monitor speakers or a full tuner-amp with stereo speakers and subwoofers. And CPUs are quite different as are graphics cards. But generally speaking....a desktop, monitor, mouse, etc.....I think I once calculated it at about 60 watts, maybe more if running a CPU that likes high temps and a couple of graphics cards. I'm wondering if this is "in the ballpark."
The computer is on 15 hours or so a day periodically I try to figure out how much of my household power it consumes, seems like it is not huge compared to things like the refrigerator, dishwasher, house lights, etc. (I'm off tungsten though)
