Most of those are max ratings. Without some kind of current monitor it is hard to be exact. Over all though PC's and LCD's aren't that big of electrical hogs as opposed to central air, furnaces and refrigerators. Older CRT's do use more energy than newer LCD's though.

If you dont have a CRT Monitor then I would say less energy then a toaster, however if you really want to know find a instrument that measure your wattage you use, (Not sure where to find one but my science department had one) Plug your stuff into the machine and plug the machine into the outlet, it will measure your power usage.

NewEgg sells a power meter for $20. plug your stuff into it and read the LCD display.

Get an addon video card with S-video out and an adapter that can convert S-Video to Composite. (AKA A/V RCA plug) My GeForce 7600 GT PCI-show card got here with the adapter (called a breakout field) yet even my old GeForce FX 5200 PCI video card has S-Video out. (And reported adapter works large with the older card.) Adapters can be accessible by way of Radio Shack or your equivalent. you will likely additionally pick a cable to hook up the sound card. those would desire to be straight forward to locate. Headphone jack on one component, RCA plugs on the different end. would pick a Y cable in the experience that your television in straight forward terms has mono enter. (a million audio jack quite of two audio jacks.) observe that the image on a customary television in basic terms isn't as stable as a visual demonstrate unit. application setup would variety based on the video card, yet i think of any laptop video card with S-Video would desire to tutor a image on the television (if related) together as the computing device is booting up. One final tip: Assuming it is a US television, while you're using living house windows you will probable pick to run in 640x480 determination.

If you really want to know EXACTLY how much power your equipment is using, you can get an electric meter. Check out this link - descriptions and pictures, etc...
