NEC MultiSync 5D 20", 19" viewable (15 years old): 95W Dell LCD 19" LCD (1 month old): 30W
These were measured this morning with a device called a "KILL A WATT" to measure draw and usage over time. I can't measure in-rush power draw, but I'd expect between 5-10 X the normal draw for a fraction of a second.
For reference, my P4 HT 3.4 MHz machine draws 100W idle and about 150W during boot.

Yes, and by these numbers, it should go to show mom's old rant was true. We don't own stock in the electric company. Turning off a few of those 60-100 watt light bulbs in rooms you aren't in would probably more than offset the cost of an added mythbox. Especially for frontend-only systems. I'd wager your CRT TV/monitor consumes more than your Mythbox.

Your typical 19 inch CRT monitor draws about 500 watts. They draw close to 1000 watts at startup (mostly due to filiment startup current and the degausing coil). Your newer lcd displays draw less than 150 watts so there is a huge savings energy wise. BTW your typical television draws about the same current as the same size crt monitor. Function wise they are nearly identical so you would expect the currents to be about the same too.
