Do any of you have old PCs (pre-Pentium 4) and a wattmeter?
I'm curious as to what the power consumption is for your old PC (excluding monitor).
Even if you have a very old PC (386, 486 etc) please mention it's power consumption here! :D

Me:
FSP HEXA 400W PSU (80+)
Pentium III-S Tualatin 1.4 GHz
Gigabyte ATX motherboard (VIA chipset)
1.5 GB PC133 RAM
3.5" floppy drive :cool:
80 GB IDE hard disk
DVD-writer optical SATA drive
AGP ATI 9200SE 128 MB graphics card
PCI 3Com 10/100 LAN card
PCI USB 2.0 card
PCI 4-port SATA card

About 66 W idle on Windows desktop and about 75 W in Prime 95.

Nothing close to the 750w XION (company I never heard of...) PSU that's in it that I got scammed into buying by iBuyPower
