It depends very much on the system. My laptop with a 950 PIII cpu, uses about 50 watts total, at idle.
My mid-tower with 100% dual core cpu utilization, uses about 255 watts, not including the monitor. One hard drive was turning (but not reading or writing). One DVD burner was part of the system, but also not being used at the time.
