It has five 7200rpm SATA drives installed, a PCIe SATA add-in controller, a floppy, DVD-RW, and one more random drive in a removable bay. Onboard Intel GPU + DVI-D adaper, two case fans, and an Antec SU-430W PSU. Full off (back panel PSU switch), it draws 0.000 amps. Turned "off", it draws .038 amps @ 120V, roughly 4.5W. Steady idle-state gives 0.95 amps @ 120V, roughly 114W. Full load() gives 1.62 amps @ 120V, roughly 195W. () All four CPUs 100% busy, all five SATA drives 100% busy.
