I wonder if my system is good or bad. My server needs 0.1kWh.

    I was drawing an average of 2.5kWh after a week of monitoring my whole rack

    That doesn’t seem right; that’s only ~18W. Each one of those systems alone will exceed that at idle running 24/7. I’d expect 1-2 orders of magnitude more.

      IDK, after a week of runtime it told me 2.5kwh average. could be average per hour?

      Highest power bill I ever saw was summer of 2022. $1800. temps outside were into to 110-120 range and was the hottest ever here.

      maybe I’ll hook it back up, but I’ve got different (newer) hardware now.

        If it gives you kWh as a measure for power, you should toss it because it’s obviously made by someone who had no idea what they were doing.
