Computer Power Usage

My roommate and I got our first electric bill and it caused a fight over how much power a PC consumes. My computer is the always on variety, but with power management installed. She's not a computer person, so she doesn't understand the absolute need for that. Does anyone have any official figures? I've found a few references to EPA studies that put the cost of computer ownership at $37 / year, but I can't find the actual document. Also, that's not in highest-energy-rates-in-the-country California. So if anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.
