[CUBE] Cube Modernization - power use data

[Gnarlodious]

Here's my data:

Cube 450 standard hardware, OS10.2.3, 15" LCD
Numbers are inclusive, in watts

Power Supply ONLY:            5
Cube off; power supply idling: 11-12
Bootup:                                  42-65
Disk R/W                                 69-73
Disk spinning:
            LCD bright:                 52-55
            LCD dim:                     37-41
            LCD off:                      32-37
Disk idle:
LCD bright:                            55-60

Sleep:                                     10


Entity Stevie spoke thus:
 
> My system:
> Cube 450 MHz - 1,5 GB RAM - 60 GB WD-HD
> Graphics: ATi Rage Pro 128 (=original) - GeForce 4 MX (without fan!)
> - ATi Radeon 8500 Mac Ed.
> Display: Formac Gallery 17' ADC
> 
> I tried several conditions and noticed the power consumption.
