The logistics of that might be a shit storm in itself though.

You say you're going to be running two of thoose bad boys? I hope you've got enough wall amps at your hosting provider to run two huge guzzlers at peak(ing) capacity. Back of the envelope calculation, they are going to be sucking up what 7, 8 amps? I host my servers in a shared co-lo which puts a severe limit on how much juice my servers can suck up without me paying extra.

But given you're proposing this I guess you've considered this.
We have sufficient power for peak needs, although if it ran at peak all the time, then we did not pick out the right equipment based on what we are shooting for. My estimated average will be around 2 amps per system. Remember, that is an average, with lower power draw during the off hours.
