Kill-A-Watt (useful gizmo for us in the 120V world)
I've been using something called a Kill-A-Watt (review froogle) to see how much power my PC is actually consuming.
Interesting stuff. If nothing else, it gives me a notion of the max heat my system might be shedding, which I can narrow down by starting the system with power not connected to the motherboard (jumper) and using that as a "base" - and fudging things a bit based on my guestimate that my PS is somewhere between 68 and 78% efficient (PS review). Just mentioning it here as someone else might find it interesting... |

They're really useful devices. Hook one up to your pump. You may be surprised how much power it actually uses verses the rated amount.
