My 19" fluorescent display uses 24W.  I wonder if fluorescent displays 
are still sold. Some 19" LED displays advertise 18W typical, 25W 
maximum.  I guess on maximum brightness, they would be about the same as 
mine.

Others advertise 14W with Energy Star on.  I wonder if Energy Star runs 
the LEDs at about half brightness.

I experimented with deselecting "Put hard drives to sleep when 
possible." When I let my Mini time out and go to sleep, the wattage 
dropped to 1.2 as before, and I couldn't hear a hum with a stethoscope.

Maybe with the hard drive option selected, the disk could go to sleep 
with the computer awake.  I don't know where to read up on it.

The disk in my Mini uses 0.6W at idle, 0.2 at standby, and 0.1 asleep.

Perhaps Power Nap would prevent a Mac from going to sleep during a Time 
Machine backup.
