Ethan,
in order to make your gauge fair...

Because different people may use different voltages to drive their
equipment, Amps don't tell anything. Use Watts instead. Otherwise, you
would discriminate many European people using 230V power, cutting
current in half. If you were to mean discriminating us by sticking to
plain Amps, I will use the 2*32A the power supplies in my BA-11K provide
at 5V and then add in the 10A _at_ 15V, so how about 74 Amps... ;-)
More power means more heat, right. Because BTU/hr specs might be harder
to get than power consumption, I vote to kick the BTU/hr value out.
