Real power draw of a PC, post your results.

I've just replaced my PSU in preparation for a future upgrade. On my current setup (slightly higher clocks than posted above):

Idle 115watts - Enermax Pro82+ 425W
Idle 118watts - Corsair 650W HX

As my idle consumption only uses 14-15% of the Corsairs available power, I was expecting far worse results.

New system

C2D@3.2ghz, Nvidia 9300 chipset, 2x2Gb Ram, 1.5Tb HDD & DVD-RW = 45W idle, 75W load, add 6-7W if I fit a dual tuner TV card.
