So I have a desktop PC that I built and want to run when I do eventually start van dwelling. I was wondering how many watts it would typically use.
The power supply in it is rated for 550W but I believe that's peak since most hardware in it probably doesn't use that full amount.
Anyone have any idea how many watts it would actually use? Would like to know so I can factor that in when i build the solar system at some point.
P.S. I will also buy a laptop at some point so I can go online and do things without using too much power, but there will be times I'll want to use the desktop for hours.
