    It can't be done using software because of the lack of sensors (on your hardware) that can be used to monitor the current supplied to each piece of hardware.

    yes, I'm sure if you go to each manufactuer of your hardware they will have a specs page with tons of info on how much it uses. I've seen it on the box of my CDRW, and I'm sure its like that for all kinds of other things. But as far a it being included in 1 website, well I don't know, I doubt it, but I havne't looked.
