My mistake, I meant to say power wattage. We have a small study room with 
eight new Dell Optiplex PC's that kicks out a lot of heat. As a result the 
room gets very hot with the PC's on. I suspect these workstations have very 
small power requirements which translate to less heat being exhausted and 
cooler rooms.
