That's peak usage/recommended PSU rating.

That does NOT reflect the overall power usage of your computer.

They recommend 275W for me, but since I can't double up on answers I know the value should be higher.

269W, on a 420W power supply

Time to buy four more HDDs and another controller card.

no options for dualies? what a waste.

466 if you add an extra 72w for the second processor (on an antec 550 eps12v)

360 for the fileserver (antec 400w truepower)

The link doesn't work, so I'll just write down my real power usage:
~150-180 watts idle
~310 watts full load
