Hmm.. 17 watts.  Of course, that's just the CPU, but I just noticed that
where I'm working right now is primarily lit by 2 22-watt flourescent lights..

So.. How many of you kill the flourescents in your back-office cubicle

For that matter - send the  cubicle critters home.  You ever *looked* at
how many watts the average human body outputs? ;)
