  The heat generated is dependent on the cards, disk type, etc. Some
hard disks use more or less power. You can measure it yourself if you
have a ammeter (or better yet wattmeter) since the BTU (per hour) is
3.412 BYU/hour/watt.

  Warning the power supply rating is not the right number unless you
have the machines really loaded. Typical power draw runs 70-190w.
