Well... erm... in fact... I didn't measure anything, I just
utilized the numbers. :-) Modern PCs come with a 700 W power
supply (and more), and the specs for my AS/400e 9406-170 say
654 W with expansion unit (326 W without), measured kVA values
(according to manual) are similar. Weight is 70.5 kg, and
size is two big towers side by side.

But it's more than 10 years old, too old to seriously
measure something! :-)
