Do you have hard evidence of that figure or is it pulled out of a
hat? I ask because I did some reading and thinking and came up with a
figure more like $10/year (or maybe it was even less) for a PC (and
another $10/year for a power-saving monitor)

IANAElectrician, and my memory is bad to boot, so I ask if anyone else
has hard figures on the electricity used by computers.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the 
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
