They'll need more power than *that*. Say, like the power plug for the PDU
for the small supercomputer we got earlier this year, and the one it took me
hours to identify. I don't have it anymore, so I can't recall what it was
(I'd have to find it in my old mail at work), but it looked like this <

and yes, that's a couple-three inches across.
