XP / SCRUM hidden danger #1

I've recently started working with a group enamoured with the SCRUM/XP development technique.

One unexpected problem we've run into that I've ye to see anyone acknowledge directly, is the physical limitation on power consumption, that the standard office configuration requires. We want all 10 dev/QA folk in a single room, with at least 4 dual monitor workstations for pairing work. It seems that due to one wall sharing circuits with a lab full of machines, we've got power problems.

At least our project leader was able to swing our power issues as requirement for nice LCD monitors =p
