quoted from parabon computing:

<< snip snip >>
.... personal computers use less energy than a 25-watt light bulb, about
$14 per year.
This is the power used by the central processing unit (CPU). If both the
CPU and monitor are left on, the energy used is less than that of a 40-watt
light bulb.
These figures were determined by the following formula: Watts =
(amps)(volts) / 1.414, given that the average computer (for this test, a
Pentium-III 450 MHz) draws 0.3 amps at 115 volts.
