Does anyone know how much energy the iMac flat panel uses when the monitor is sleeping and there's no one using the computer? I leave my iMac on when I'm not at home so I can access my files using telnet/ssh. And I've looked in the Apple Knowledge Base and I never have any luck in the K-Base for some reason.

Thanks in advance,
Ben S.
