What have you got in the thing?



Frying chips?

Seriulsy, POC's don't 'idle' - they are either more or less shut down
with teh clock stopped, or running at teh same curent they always run
at. About 50-200W depending on things like what cards are in them and
how many disc drives are permanently rotating.

CPU typically takes a few amps on its own.
