It was running zoneminder.com but idling it used almost the same amount. It was a old PC my dad saved from being thrown out at his company. It must have been from around 2002 or something.

Yeah - that has changed since then. Power usage in the 30 to 40W range is easily attainable of you take some care selecting the components.

I bought a NUC which took 5 W idling that was quite amazing.

Yeah, those are awesome - but even with an ATX mainboard, a CPU and a few spinning disks it’s become easier to stay on this side of 40W.
