I've been measuring stuff like crazy with the Kill-a-Watt I recently got for my birthday. Great geek toy.<br><br>My ME6000 based (MiniMyth) frontend uses:<br>16 watts - Idle<br>20-21 watts - playing video.<br><br>I'm quite pleased. It'll save about $50/year in power compared to my previous frontend.
