Average power consumption will be around 120W per single CPU machine +/- 20% depending on components. Most any CRT monitor uses more than that. If power consumption is a big issue, the use of small lithography CPUs offers the best performance/power ratio. For folding, Tbreds would be best now. P4s may be better in the future(see my thread in FAH topic), especially when Intel transitions to its 90nm process.
