i have a "watt meter" on the wall.
now with browser open and downloading, wattmeter sign a consumption of 203w.
my desktop on idle sign normally 65w
so 203-65=138w.
it must be said that i have a PSU corsair VS650 without any certification. so i think that my new rig i will start to buid tomorrow, whit a PSU 80+ gold, will use a few less power than this, i estimate 4 or 5% less.
here, in Italy, i pay power 0.2443 euro kWh, it's about 0.3322$ per kWh. saving power is my only way to maximize my profit.
