Joulemeter
Measure the consumption of electricity by each individual part of your computer.
Joulemeter is an amazing piece of software which is able to quite precisely measure how much electricity the different parts of your computer are using at any given time. You can see very detailed information about specific parts, and really follow what is going on inside the box.
