Agreed. I have a "Kill-a-Watt" unit that measures total AC draw in
both watts and VA, and will measure the power factor as well. The
results can be quite educational, and the unit is pretty cheap ($25US
in the USA).
Of course in order to measure your power supply performance you first
have to buy the PS, so unless you have the ability to return it when
you discover it is crap the numbers are only of intellectual
interest :-)
