Anybody get a chance to play around with one of these yet? My two E3 boxes with 16GB each is feeling kinda cramped for what I want to do, 8GB unregistered ECC is still stupidly expensive, and a dual E5-2620 box with 12 cores/24 threads and 64GB of the much cheaper registered ECC, something like a 560Ti or equiv for playing around with remotefx, and a X540-AT2 or two when they become more widely available really sounds like a lot of fun.

God I'm a nerd

Anyway the only concern I have is adding even more power to the ever growing power bill and heat load what with summer coming. My current setup uses around 320W, I'm hoping someone here has an idea of what the above system might draw at mostly idle and full load.
 
And I stuck this in the wrong forum I meant for it to go into in the virtualization forum (although it is the box I was thinking about using as a psudo 10Gbit switch for my other servers and workstations once I got 5 X540's in the thread about switches with 10gig uplinks a few posts down)
