Not counting the CPU and its power circuitry, I would be very suprised if
the other components on a normal motherboard pulled as much as half of that
even when under load.
In fact a typical modern desktop computer will, when idle, draw less than
100W for the whole system. It is not even difficult to put together a
system that will stay under 100W even when under load.
but power supplies are not really efficient when used at small load.
maybe some newer are better...
