For example a 48 channel Duality will draw about 1,500W, which I would estimate at about 2 and a bit Apple Macs.
Also you safely switch it Off and On whenever you wish, without worrying about audio degradation, boot times and all of the other "legacy" issues.
Hope that this is of use,

We are thinking of buying a 48 ch Duality for a new facility (with a bigger control room) in the next 2 years or so.
Good thread - nice to hear some of the figures being thrown around.
We can buy a s/hand 4000 series for under $100,000 here in Oz (ex US of course) but if it's going to cost $2000 a month in electricity and maintenance then no way - we will buy the Duality and hope support from SSL lasts a long time.
