the 6000s are not that bad. About 600W depending on features.
The 11/780, 8000, and 9000 are real power hogs. The 9000
was supposed to be water cooled ("Aquarius") but that didn't
work. Anyhow, even with the 6000 I'm still fighting with the
power supply though trying to satisfy it with 110 V two phase
instead of 208 V 3 phase.
cheers
