How much does it cost in electricity each month or how much power is it pulling? Must be a fortune.

Right now I'm only sitting at like 330w or so, so it's barely a dent in the bill. Though if i fire up those 4 big enclosures (I usually leave em off and only turn on to run a backup) then I can be using close to 1kw. I don't have enough UPS capacity for that, so that's why I leave them off. My Core i7 machine almost uses more power than that whole rack. :awe:

When I upgrade/add more servers though, then I'll be looking at more power usage. I just ran two 20a outlets to the power rack (where power equipment will go). Used #10 wire so I can later on upgrade to 30a! You can never have too much power. :awe:
