Power figures can go all over the place, depending on what components are in the machine and how much time it spends powered on but idle.

Our data centre guys take the rated wattage and multiply by 0.6. They use that number for power consumption calcs. At least, that's what they tell me.

They use this as a metric for providing power, UPS and cooling - they seem like they know what they're doing.
