    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    The standard desktop computer contains a CPU and monitor. These devices together consume about 250 watts electricity. Adding printers or other peripherals will increase that number. Other variables--such as the length of time the components are on--should also be factored in for energy use determination.
