How much power?

I recently got the possibility to check the power consumption of my HTPC (things haven't changed much since the setting up, installation of the hardware). So the machine's idle power consumption is around 45w. It goes up to around 80-90W when there's a havier use of the system. It's around the consumption of an older laptop. Not bad from a PC with good computing and video capacity! :)
