power consamption
we have dell power edge R420 % R720 severs up to how much input power handel capacity of the servers
Trying to calculate this can be tricky.
Easy way is just purchase a pass through, Watt Meter + turn on your machine + you can see the exact wattage used (power consumption).

So much depends on percentage CPU usage nowadays that a R720 can consume anything between 50W and 500W+ , you can use the EIPT tool to calculate exact power usage http://www.dell.com/calc
(not as accurate as a power meter as you'll no doubt have to guess some values but at least you can work it out before you buy the servers if you don't already have them)
