Antony09, If this is just for 1 computer I wouldn't worry about it's almost insignificant.
 
i have a computer room with 5260 square feet with 40 computer.
 
About 300 watts. Typical office is about 2 watts/SF lights, 3 watts/SF equip & 1 person/100 SF.
 
My crystal ball tells me 80 to 150 sq/ft PT or 80 to 240 btuh/sq.ft, Room SHR about 0.80 to 0.95, air flow about 2.0 to 4.0 CFM/sqft and air changes about 15 to 18 AC/hr
Of course
 
It depends on the computer, monitor, power supply, etc. If you don't have the original documentation visit the manufacturer's web site and search the model for "Technical Specifications" BTU.
