Go to the Sell website support area and give it the information it wants. Find the listing of what your computer has in it. Look for the power supply wattage. This doesn't include your monitor, which may be listed separately if you bought it from Dell.
Depending upon the age, it could be anywhere from 300 to 450 watts.

Its going to vary model to model...but the average desktop computer is going to consume about 250 - 350 watts.
The power listings on the power supply are a max capacity... if you try running your computer and there were enough accessories installed to draw the max power of the supply...it will likely shut down or overheat and then still shut down.
The wattage will not change because of location... P = I x E... so if the voltage goes up...the current goes down but the wattage stays the same.

This varies from model to model and is determined by your power supply rating. Also if it's a PC, the monitor also uses power. The ratings for both are usually in K/W hours and can be found on the labels. (eg: 400W P/S = 400W per hour)
