I’ll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what’s actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.
But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.
What’s your usage? What do you host?
50 watts is maybe halfof one of my 10 gig switches…
Damn son, what’re you runnung?
dell powerconnect 8164’s and arista 7050tx’s . House is wired with copper so 10 gig copper is what I have to use and that’s power hungry.
Damn, your switches are using that much? I have a MikroTik CRS518 and it’s using like 40 Watts on idle (transceivers not included)
yah, my house is wired with copper and 10 gig copper uses a lot of power. It doesn’t really help that the new slightly less power hungry 48 port 10 gig switches are thousands of dollars. I’m using 100 to 150ish watts per 10 gig switch to be able to buy the switch for under 500 bucks instead of using 60-100 watts and paying 2-5k per switch…
