Satya's blog - Power consumption

I have a wattmeter. Fear.

So here's some data:

Component	Wattage
gort's CRT	50
wintermutex's LCD	25
wintermutex's hard drive thrashing under load from opening openoffice	5-10
Printer, idle	10
System, quiescent	195

(Determined by turning stuff on and off and subtracting in my head.)

Maximum current draw: under 4 amps. Usually less than 3, 2 if quiescent. That is good.
