Thermal dissipation of a Precision 390 workstation

[Peter Ruprecht]

Given that the Precision 390 has a 375W power supply, and assuming that
the PS is about 75% efficient, you could guess that the maximum power
it's going to pull from the wall socket could be about 450W.  All of that
power will eventually turn into heat, and 450W is equivalent to about
1530 BTU/hr.  As Ray mentions, though, the exact power draw will depend
on the components and how hard they're working.
