That's very bad haha. Most home servers for personal use are using 7-10w.
Although you'll have to do the math with your local energy prices to determine how important that is. It's probably not.
It's $1/day. I've done the math a few times
Yeah so you'd make your money back pretty quickly picking up a dedicated PC for that.
$1/day? At 100W average power usage, that's 2.4kWh per day, suggesting that where you live, the price is 41.67 cents per kWh, ~~roughly double that of California.~~
Is electricity that expensive where you live?
Edit: it's been a while since I lived in the Bay area, I hadn't realized that the electricity price now ranges from 38-62 cents per kWh, depending on rate plan and time.
