My house has a dedicated server. One of the changes I made because of power consumption was to move from a Dell tower (XPS 400) to a mac mini for my always on server. I haven't measured the difference, but I think that my Mac Mini draws around 20-30 watts when not under load. The PC on the other hand is somewhere in the 150-200 watts range. That is a huge difference. As a side benefit, I can now keep my server running a lot longer on the UPS battery backup when there is a power failure.
