I want to know how much power my system consumes without the monitor on. Or how to calculate it.

my specs are:
P4 1.6 Ghz
via 845 mobo
640 mb 133 mhz sdram
7.2k seagate hard disk
5.4k seagate hark disk
1 dvd writer + 1 CD ROM
Geforce 4 mx 440 128 MB
Creative 5.1 live

Also, is it okay to leave the PC on during the night (or for long periods) for downloading stuff n' all?
Another thing, is it possible to reduce the clock speed of the cpu to save power? (speedstep?)

EDIT: Also, what does the "video Level" on my monitor OSD mean? and what is the difference between 0.7 and 1.0?

Thanks
Milind
