Last I looked, we're around 70W for phantom loads.

But that was before replacing the DSL modem so now the modem and router get turned off again at night, which should lower that by ~15W for ~8 hrs/day. It also includes the cat's heated and vented litter box (~15W), the power data logger (~5W), plus the other common phantom loads.
