        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.
