my 1U dual-xeon/2.4's consume about 1 KW for every 8 nodes,
according to the UPS.  these nodes are RMC1E cases (nice centrifugal blower,
350W PS), 1 or 2G ram, single 40G 7200 RPM IDE disk, no cards.

disks and dimms are around 10W these days, versus ~70 for a CPU.
consider those numbers to have .9 significant digits ;)
