Yes, a flat screen typically uses about 50W; a big CRT might use 100 to 
150W.

AMD processors now have fairly good thermal behavior when they are 
idle, although it obviously helps if one can enable APCI and power 
management capabilities to either throttle down the CPU speed or even 
go into sleep mode.
