Well you need to base the results on SOMETHING! Just saying 9 computers isn't at all usefull to anyone. Assuming this will be for a sever type room, you will want to find a modern server to base your numbers on. For example http://www.newisys.com/tech_specs.htm

Find out what the heat output is of the Opteron. Noramally large servers are dually's so you can figure 18 CPU's. If you know what the wattage output of those are then you can add up the watts and that will give you a number to shoot for.

Example:
"Our experiement will be based on 9 Opteron dual Servers that will total 18 Opteron CPU's running at X.Xmhz for a total of X amount of watt output. We are simulating the the wattage out put by bla bla bla... This experiment's data will be compiled for the CPU's ONLY. Bla bla bla..."

That way people will have some clue WTF you doing.
