165W idle, 550W max, so probably 400W-450W or so.
2400W can be a problem, a normal single 15A outlet won't handle it.
And 2.4KWH cost me nearly 40cents and hour. That's $10/day. A lot of
money to tinker around.

Does anyone have any figures as to peak quad G5 power consumption?
The University has six spares and I think I wanna make a Beowulf

Yes, but that is what universities are _for_. Besides, from my own
UPS panel and dual 2 gHz G5, each will use a little over 220 watts at
idle. You can also save 50-60 Watts just by using the base line video
card over, say, a Radeon 9800.
By the way, the CPUs (as you probably know) use different amounts of
power, if you were willing to use Bresinks' Hardware Monitor and
change cpus around, you could save 20-50 Watts by using only the less
leaky CPUs. Yes, a bit of work, but as I like to think, I wrench,
therefore I am.
