Oh, I thought they were in the 'unbustable' list. Oh well, I didn't
like it anyway, nothing to fettle. ;-)

Anyway, to get back on your topic (and FWIW) I had Jenny's new C2D box
plugged into one of those basic power monitor plugs while we were
installing 10 x Sims2 ....

With the PC, little 12" LCD and speakers it was drawing ~130W (peaking
up to about 150W (240VA). The screen equated for about 14W (24VA). On
the back it says 12V @[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 3A so in theory the max power consumed can only
be 36W.

The PF of the whole lot was about .6 if that helps?

All the best ..
