The Microvax II is already there...hmmm....

Anybody got an MV II running that could give me an idea of power usage? 
  It's running an RA82 drive and is in a rack but has standard 110 plugs 
on it.  They plug into the odd multi-plug box with the large wire on 
it.  I'm thinking the box converts 220 but I don't know.
People have told me it should run fine with a standard heavy-duty power 
strip.

I'm paying $88/month right now and I fully expect to run about $120 
after everything is set up but I'd like some idea of how much the 
"larger than average" iron eats.  ;-)
