@viion makes a good point. It's not just a couple of hooked up computers -- it's a damn server farm that requires a high amount of electricity.

Could someone please explain the whole 50hz/60hz thing? Why not use a universal system? I assume that the hz refers to how the power is "pumped out," i.e. that 50hz means that it "beams out" electricity every 500ms? Sigh... I'm a pr-person. I don't understand the situation with the elctricity. :-(
