Joulemeter: How Much Power Does Your PC Consume?

[6Foot2]

I tried installing this on my Windows 7 laptop [which is a bit flaky at the moment and so might not be a fair test for this bit of software]

 

If I can get it going perhaps Edugeek members would like to enter their power consumption into a survey of some kind?

It comes as an msi, wonder if there's a way of rolling it out via gpo and tracking power usage across the school!?

[joe90bass]

good start, failed to start the service, rolled back. Tried to reinstall and the service exists, which it does..... but the program doesn't.... It is Alpha relase I suppose!

Hitting around 38W here for my laptop, but it doesn't seem to take the second monitor into account. Edited June 6, 2010 by localzuk
