No, nothing in your computer can measure it, you'd have to set up an external piece of equipment between your computer and your wall socket I believe. There are software programs to measure your CPU and other temps or your fan speeds, though.

You could either measure it with a wattmeter or just compare your PC set up's consumption with what are already posted in the NET like this:
