IBM also has a Power Calculator, available here.  The IBM tool is a little rough around the edges, but it gets the job done.

The IBM tool is a download vs. an on-line tool.  The configuration of a chassis is very easy to do and the report is very straight forward.  I would like to see a user populated utilization level to customize the report but you can make the calculations yourself with the information provided.  Lastly, IBM allows you to add the PDU’s you need, a nice touch.
IBM only supports exporting the data to an Xls format.  All in all, a bit of an ugly baby but it provides the necessary information.
