Here on the forums, the age old question "how big of a power supply do I need" gets asked. A handful of users on this forum correctly provide estimates in reference to the size. Phaedrus Quick'n'Dirty PSU calculator is a great tool to be in a safe zone of the correct power supply required.
It is easy to check how much power your rig actually consumes by buying and plugging in a power meter. These little units are helpful and fairly cheap.
-For those in Canada: You can get a blueplanet EM100 power meter from Canadian Tire for $15 (on sale at time of writing).
-For those in the United States: A Kill-A-Watt is very popular.
It can give you peak Wattage, Voltage and Amperage.
Many user's here on the forums already have such a device. I would like users to record these values and submit their findings so that we can keep a record of real world values of power being consumed by systems. I will try to keep this up-to-date the best I can. The information needed can be in the format below similar to my first entry. For these tests make sure that your power supply is the only item plug into the meter. Remember that these meters record the power usage from the wall. You have to take into account the efficiency of the power supply. Multiply your value with your power supply efficiency (Eff) to see how much power your computer is pulling.

Prime95 is a great way to stress the CPU. However, after doing some tests, its does not stress the CPU complete with just one iteration. Using the blend test, the first iteration does not use enough of the instruction set to stress the CPU fully. You can either let the test run longer for Prime95 or select the 'In-Place Large FTT's'. Or you can use the program "Intel Burn Test".
