I have an amp meter. Will handle anything up to 15 amps. Just plug your computer directly into the adapter which plugs into the wall outlet and read the meter.

To find out how much power your PC (or anything else) is useing, you will need to measure the current (amps) flow into the PC.
The formula for power usage is
Power(watts)= current(amps) times voltage(volts) (117volts in the US)
