If I had to do the math, I'd look at the power label on the PSU.

Except the PSUs are variable power consumers. Just because my PSU
_could_ draw 700W doesn't mean it does (unless I have one hell of a PC).

Absolutely true, but one has to start somewhere. I suggested buying a
couple of power monitors (like the Kill A Watt) but that was considered
a bit excessive.

Savings is more likely to come from power-saving mode on LCD monitors.
Still, any savings is more than no savings.

Especially considering that the cost part of this is something like 5
seconds for the user to hibernate her PC - it's almost all benefit.
