Admittidly, I know very little about electricity itself, aside from sticking my tongue on a 9v battery.... zzzzttt.
Anyways, what type of euipment is needed to measure electrical stats on a PC at the plug, such as voltage/wattage/amperage when it is idle/running 100%... Is there a simple way of using a small volt-meter, or do you need a specific piece of hardware?
