Old deepthot (big black and silver Dell)
- boot: 100W
- running: 90-120W
-
LCD monitor:
- standby: 2W
- operating: 20W
-
Old deepthot without keyboard: 69W 0.58A, with keyboard 69W 0.59A
(IBM Model M keyboard)

New computer with motherboard, DVD, RAM, and CPU installed:
- PSU turned on: 1W 60mA
- startup: 30W 0.25A
