My estimate is that it's idling at ~250w. I'm admittedly fudging the details a bit, right now archive-team-warrior is using a lot of CPU because it's archiving telegram, and that's pushing the number up.

Calculating it again the actual number is a bit lower than that, and it wasn't in US dollars.

With a Kill A Watt (or similar, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_A_Watt) meter, you don't have to estimate power usage, you can measure the actual power usage.

I've got one, but it's being used for other stuff.
