Wait... 400W for a single computer?  Ive got two full size computers, an 
embedded Geode computer, 17 hard drives, two optical drives, a hardware 
RAID card, two filled gigabit switches, a wireless AP, five tuners, POTS 
ATA, DSL modem, and WiFi access point all on a single UPS, and it barely 
exceeds 300W consumption at the wall.
