When I measured it, about 4A of 240V single phase.  I didn't measure it 
when it was fully up, but it probably doesn't draw more than another 
couple amps when running.

No, but if I decide to get it running something besides Linux, I've got 
an IBM 9343 with 12GB (IIRC) of disk space, which came with the ES/9000 
I got a few months ago from St. Louis.

Unfortunately, probably not... the machine requires at least 200V, and I 
dont think i'll have much luck convincing people to help me move it 
again unless I buy/rent a forklift or lift-gate for my truck...

I will have *something* interesting there, though.  I just need to figure 
out what that'll be.
