can only imagine the power consumed and heat produced!

The IBM p590 (which runs AIX and has been available for several months) requires 16,700 watts of power when fully configured. It also gives off 57,000 BTu/hr.

The IBM p590...

Did not mean to imply that this computer is an IBM p590, I just wanted to point out the heat load some of these big machines can have.
