Where to find power spec for Standby mode?

I have a PowerEdge SC440. The tech spec page
http://www.dell.com/content/products...e_sc440_cto4~~
tells me it uses 305W. But I want to know how much power it uses when
the computer is put to Standby. Where can I find it? Thanks.

Suggestion: Get a device called a "Kill-A-Watt" ($13 to $40; try E-Bay)
and actually MEASURE it yourself.

[The prices on this thing ... as far as I know there is only one such
actual device ... are kind of astounding. $13 "Buy It Now" from some
vendors and $40 or so from others. But a VERY useful device, gives a
digital measurement of:

-AC Line Voltage
-AC Line Current
-Instantaneous AC Power consumption
-POWER FACTOR (previously impossible to measure)
-Total power used (find cost of operation)

Power Factor was never impossible to measure, but I will grant that it was
outside of the scope of the average home PC user.

I didn't mean to imply that it was impossible to measure in an
engineering lab department. But it was impossible for not only an
average home PC user, but even for an average PC technician.
