>Out of curiosity, would anyone happen to know the power consumption?

A Cyber 205, depending upon 2 or 4 pipelines, ECL or MOS memory, and
size of memory, dissipated about 30,000 to 45,000 watts tops 
(including motor-generators). In a normal installation, your big CDC 
or Ibis disk units would eat up most of your electric bill anyway. 
The CPU and memory would be a small share of your total power needs.
Most installations had 2 motor-generators for redundancy.
