Read carefully:
I want to see the overall power usage (in watts) of a basic 1155 system (Including motherboard, memory, power supply and processor), minus the graphics card (so you will have to use the on board graphics) idling in Windows.

Can some of you guys try this? I'm very interested in i3 and i5 chips in particular.

You will need a gizmo like this to check the results, so I am pretty much banking on you guys having one lying around.

I cant do it myself since I have 1st gen i5 with no on board graphics. And if you are wondering why I want this, I am building a server that needs low power consumption but high performance at same time.

I would like it to be verified from a power measurement device as pictured on OP (though can be any make/model of course!) with no graphics card, only on board graphics. 67w is pretty good for a 2600k with a card in it, I would like to see if it can be beat in other peoples i3/i5 rigs.
