Hop down to radio shack or your favorite electronics store.  They have a device used 
to determine the amount of electricity a device uses.  If I remember, they're about 
20$.

Plug it in between the computer and the wall (maybe plug in the monitor and PC to a 
cheap power strip, so you can do both at once).

It'll tell you how many watt/hours your system uses.

I love this thing, it's great when you are trying to figure out why your power bill is 
so high.
