Since I haven't popped the $100+ for a Watts Up meter I was wondering if
anyone could answer the following:
If I have a PC with a 350 Watt power supply will is draw 350 watts or should
I add up the draw of each piece (motherboard, floppy, CD/DVD, hard drive,
etc)? It's the etc that's particularly difficult as many peripheral cards
don't bother giving you power consumption figures.
Also I have a UPS and was wondering what it's "parasite" load is once it's
fully charged and just passing on the power to the PC.
Thanks for your help.
