Thanks for the math Larry David.
Karl, i'm not sure but i'd be assuming that the cost of ventilation would be covered in the overall cost, not the additional amp cost. Yet nothing amazes me any more.
Anyway, I'm told that the amps are in fact NOT calculated according to the above, they are in fact calculated as follows:

"The power usage will be measured according to the peak usage at boot by our engineers upon receipt of the server. We then get this peak figure, take 90% of it, and round down to the nearest 0.1 amps. Additional power is charged at £4 per month per 0.1 Amps."

I'd be interested to know if this is standard practice to produce an amp usage figure.
