I dont believe there is a program, but i know there is an electrical device which tells you the amps, voltage, watts, ect, im not sure what its called or where to get it, but i've seen them.

And when you find one, can you post here where you got it and hiw much, cause i want to get one too

You could get something like the Seasonic Power Angel. You can see how much power any household device is using... fun to play with.

Hmmm im guessing that if you wanted to do a voltage breakdown, a DMM/Wattmeter would be sufficient per rail?
