alt Hacker NewsHow have you measured the power usage/cost? That seems like a incredibly high price for electricity, similar to a 600W constant load in my part of the world.

All of my IT equipment in my office is running through a single UPS that measures power consumption.
I do have a bit more than just that server hooked up to it. There's also a Dell i5 running DDWRT as my main gateway/router, the fiber internet modem, a small Synology NAS, a couple of WIFI routers, etc. It all adds up.
That doesn't include my backup server out in the garage with another 8-disk RAID10 array and an LTO tape drive that is often backing up data, 5 more WIFI routers around the property, and 10 or so security cameras. So I'm probably well over $100/mo for all my tech stuff.
