Time to answer some questions!
Do you have a kill-a-watt meter? I'd be interested what the real world power usage is.
Sure do! I plugged it in quickly this morning and the unit evened out between 1190W and 1210W. That's the power going into the LEPA, so I suspect the actual miner is only taking about 90-92% of that, so about 1090W or so.
