When designing my cabinets I used a spreadsheet that let me try out
different configurations of modules so that I could estimate the
power draw and the number of power supply connectors required. I used
the published power draw spec for each module, if available.
Otherwise, I used an average value of all the other modules. This let
me take into account the more power hungry modules like the Time
Machine and UEG. In the end I came up with results that were fairly
close to "Schreiber's law".
