I meant listing it among the specifications. It could help customers, I don't believe many do that.

good questions.  i haven't personally measured, however, these machines are very well documented.

i believe the average power consumption is less than ~60W for the optiplex 390 i've listed.  it's max total power is 235W.  newer machines are usually more energy efficient. 

it appears the sound level is around 23dB from the bystander position for machines placed on a table-top.

hope this helps!

Since you know roughly what software it will run at a minimum, you can provide additional value by also listing watts drawn and dB of noise while running such a load, after initial syncing to be fair. These are important variables to many when running in homes.
