I picked up a pretty nice APC Battery Backup. 1300VA (780 Watts) and hooked up my computer to it. I was curious, what was the draw with my computer, monitor and peripherals plugged in? Not much...
180 Watts idle within Windows Vista
265 Watts Load P95 (4 cores)
285 Watts Lost Planet (Utilizes 4 Cores + Hammers my 8800GTS)
My system is
Q6600 @ 3.33Ghz 1.35v (B3)
ThermalRight SI-128 SE + Silverstone 120MM fan (110CFM)
Abit IP35-E
4x1GB Trascend 4-4-4-12
8800GTS 640MB OC2 @ 620/2000
74 GB Raptor
500 GB USB External 'My Book'
Samsung DVD-Burner
SB Audigy
4 120MM Case Fans
Cable Modem
Wireless Router
Samsung 21.6" LCD (216BW)
Antec TPQ 850 WATT (Up to 88+% effeciency)
I expected my power draw would be far greater than it really is... But, I guess I was wrong.
Just thought I would let everyone know that some of the power requirements stated might be overkill and certainly are in my situation. Numbers would climb 20 watts if I moved to a GTX, maybe 30 watts if I moved to an Ultra.
