You can measure voltage with a multimeter or some software, I don't think there's any way to measure wattage/amps being used though? Or could you measure that with a multimeter somehow... maybe

I have one and it is awesome. Besides plugging my computer into it, you can plug in other household items to see how much electricity they use.

I got one for just under 30 USD off of ebay. Other online retail stores have them for around 25-30 plus tax/shipping.
