semi-OT: power requirements

[Matt Price]

hey folks,

I'm putting together a proposal to build a linux-based computer lab
using salvaged hardware in a public housing building, and realize i
don't have a really good idea how much power i'm going to need in it.
Has anyone on the list built computer labs, and do you know rules of
thumb for energy requirements?  these are older machines with CRT
monitor, so though not quite as power-hungry as today's quad-cores,
they're nowhere near as efficient as modern thin clients or the like.  

thanks much!  all the best,
matt
