Definitely power hogs. Modern switch mode power supplies are incredibly efficient.
I never really administered anything like that myself but I had a friend who took care of some old servers ~20 years ago in college. Multiple power drops in that small room went to fuse panels rated for several hundred amps each.
Unfortunately all I know were that they were VAX mainframes and were already considered obsolete in the late 90's ;-)
