I will look into the power monitor designs. I have not read the article but will do so as soon as I get a chance. I ordered a bucnch of current transformers from allelectronics but have yet to tinker with them. I found circuits also, but most measured between 2 and 10 amps.

I think I would like to implement the design to monitor single devices instead of (or in addition to) total power strip consumption.

The idea would be to simply use a timed polling of the devices (a few times a second or something) to get a running average of power consumtion. A simple 'realtime' graph would be displayed.
