Easy way to see real time power draw of PC?

Is there any handy dandy util that can tell you how much power your comp is using in real time? Or is the only way using a hardware tool?

Multimeter designed to register killowatt/h.....

i really like the ones where you don't even have to make physical contact with the cable.... just put it around the main powerbar cord cable and kablam.... you can get amperage draw, voltage, the whole works..

Get an APC UPS then the status monitor tells you how much AC wattage you're using
