About as much power as a 60 watt light bulb, and maybe the light of a 15 Watt light bulb.

You can also tell that older systems didn't need near as much power due to the fact that a cooling system (heat syncs and fans) wasn't even needed.
Now compare those old computers to this article that discuses what PSU (Power Supply Unit) to get when building a PC. (Prefabricated Gaming PC's aren't much different)

It even discuses PSU's clear up to 1800W! At the rate we're going we'll need 2kW, then 3kW, then 5kW then 7kW power connections just to hook up gaming, workstation and rendering PC's! That's as much as a Level 2 EVSE!
