Let's see...
My servers (tiny/mini/micros) in total are about... 600W or so. Two NASs, about 15-20W a piece.
I spend a out $150/mo in electricity, but my hot water/HVAC/etc are the big power draw. I'd say about $40-50/mo is what I'm spending on powering the servers in my office.
Definitely puts off some heat, but that's partially because it's all in one rack, and I've got a bunch of other work hardware in there. It's about 2 degrees warmer in my office than the rest of my home, but I also have air cycling all the time since it's a single unit HVAC and I need to keep the air moving to keep it all the right temp in the other rooms anyway (AC will come on more often otherwise, even without my rack).
