It might if it were really working hard but at idle it draws around 160 watts.
Edit: I was close. 140 watts.
My power edge R630 was eating way too much power... It's off and being replaced with a second consumer grade PC to be my second host.
I don't really have anything that takes enough clocks to justify that pig of a machine.
