No matter how you cut it, power (in watts) is still equal to volts times amps.

P = E (volts) X I (amps) ~ Watts
P = 120 X 2 = 240 watts (your couple of amps from above).

Somehow.. I don't think so. Any of todays full sized computers consume more than 240 watts.

10 amperes was of course an exaggerated calculation...which good processing of unknowns is always employed. Usually, an engineer will double the amount expected when he (1) does not know exactly what will be used or (2) the equipment will be used in an environment that can allow upgrading in the future.
