That's not bad (taking into account the lack of hard drives).
For comparison purposes, here are a couple of random data points:
[ NOTE: the following *includes* power consumption by hard drives, etc.,
but no monitor. ]
System #1: ~70W
333MHz Celeron (66MHz FSB), 384MB RAM, Abit BH6 motherboard
Some generic ATI Rage-based video card
10GB IBM drive (might be 60GXP -- I've forgotten)
Two Maxtor DiamondMax 7200RPM 120GB drives
Promise Ultra100 TX2
Intel Pro 100/S LAN
Some generic DVDROM drive, floppy
No extra cooling fans (yet?)
System #2: ~170W (~200W+ with 100% CPU & 3D rendering)
Athlon 2100XP, 768MB PC2100 RAM (slow ;-(), Asus a7v8x motherboard
Nvidia GeForce4 Ti200 video card, w/128MB
LeadTek WinFast TV2000XP TV card
60GB IBM drive (60GXP, I think)
40GB Maxtor DiamondMax drive
Plextor 12/10/32 CDRW
Pioneer DVDROM, floppy
Intel Pro 100/S LAN
One extra cooling fan (in addition to the two in the power
supply).
Power was measured using an actual wattmeter, and not via an ampmeter
(although, as modern PC power supplies supposed are now supposed to be
power-factor-corrected, an ampmeter can give good results).
