It might be sufficient to read your meter over a period of time with the PC
turned on. If you can arrange to either have no other items in your house
running, or establish a baseline of what your other items use and subtract
that from the total with the PC turned on. The thing to watch out for is
intermittent loads like the fridge turning on and off during the test.
