Question about power usage (alien.top)

I'm looking to possibly buy a already used ProDesk 400 G2 Mini computer for like €90 but can't really find online how much power it will use. I would be running it for about 16-18 hours a day. How much power would that use? Compared to doing the same with an average gaming pc? I need a power efficient computer.

Depends on the CPU, but should be fairly low. I found this article discussing similar mini PC models and comparing power usage:

ServeTheHome has an article about the newer G4 model with some power numbers:
