These days, I wouldn't worry too much about volt-amps versus watts.  Pretty 
much every modern server has active power factor correction.  VA will be within 
2-3% of watts.

I took a look at the APC site and interestingly the numbers they have for VA 
for a couple of servers is much lower than I get doing the Amps * Volts 
calculation from the labels.
I'm checking out Wikipedia and elsewhere so I can try and understand this stuff 
- I just want to be able to provide accurate information.


Thanks for giving me a couple of places to look.
