Eating $70 in power a month.
It might if it were really working hard but at idle it draws around 160 watts.
Edit: I was close. 140 watts.
My power edge R630 was eating way too much power... It's off and being replaced with a second consumer grade PC to be my second host.
I don't really have anything that takes enough clocks to justify that pig of a machine.
Wait, we're supposed to justify getting new servers? You don't just hoard them like blank notebooks?
Well, I was... But dual 700w power supplies running a whole lot of VMs was a bit too much power draw.
My 5700g proxmox host, switches, access points, and modem use 120 watts according to my UPS. That's $10/month in my $0.12/kWh geographical area.
