is there a power budget cap for pre-order deisgns?

I ask this because electricity costs are a major factor in Australia...currently I pay AU$0.22kW/hr (about US$0.25kW/hr) so the GH/s : kW/hr is my main assessment tool

if use front end simulation result, the power consume is only about 120~160watt for a 60G rig (just like BFL's pronounce), but....

by our engineering experience, it MAY higher than this value. but i think it will be in a "hundreds of watt" range.

or:

if you guys all consider that, the MH/W is a very important value, we could pay more effort on energy consumption optimize.
