Used to have the $650/mo power bills.

Currently in a colo with a 1u Compaq DL360 g5 or g6. 6 x 1TB 2.5" disks 
and dual quad core xeons I think (older ones) put it right around 1.1 amps 
not under heavy load (load on cpus makes a difference!)

At home my disk array box is pulling like 2 amps :-/

On another note I plan to bring back the dustbunny archive that I used to 
co-run. (Still have the data from it too.)
