Note Detail

its fun to see the electricity of both my laptop and my mini pc. laptop is consuming around 3-4 watt for notetaking work while mini pc average is 2 watt (PPT 7 watt) for idle. 

kinda excited to build another tower as a server, so mini pc can have a breather. I haven't set a NAS as well.

@ganbold@sns1.hydranlab.com consider this probably calculated for CPU only. If you have no GPU but a lot of storage drives and using Wireless connection, consider add 5 to 20 W after CPU. That's probably the total power consumption for all the parts in your PC.
