Power Meter Recommendations?

Hi,

Looking to overclock my E6600 cpu to extend the life of my rig before upgrading, however the overclock will certainly require increasing the cpu voltage (currently running under-volted) and I'd really like to see how much this effects power consumption.

Can anyone recommend me a very accurate power meter that will tell me how much power my system is drawing from the plug?

Many thanks in advance!

I doubt it will be that much more, why are you worried?

Not really worried but from what I've read elsewhere it does make a significant difference to power consumption, so it would just be nice to see what effect it really has.

It is'nt that much more but you can get a plug in power monitor from that big electronic store or B&Q/Homebase for £9.99.
