4100 VA or about 2650 W...
Not including my office setup, that's just what's in the rack. MX7000 chassis with 7x MX740c blades, redundant 40G core switches, a fiber channel SAN, two 48-bay NAS with 10TB drives, and 240v power with a 5000W UPS.
Not including the AC for the garage that the rack is in.
And no, I am not a masochist.
How did you got an mx7000?
How on Zod’s green earth were you able to get your power factor to be that awful?!
Follow up question: how is your hearing? An actual blade setup would be loud as bombs inside a house.
Actually, the MX7000 is not terrible on noise comparatively. Not silent, obviously, but no worse than a typical 1U server.
Now, having that many compute modules may make that thing loud...
Yep. It's not so bad. I typically only have 4 or so blades powered on at a time, so it's not so bad. The MX9116N IOMs I have though require more cooling. Had I gone for the lesser ones, it'd probably be a little quieter.
Xeon processors in my case
I just calculated this would cost me £8272 p.a. ($10160) to run.
Or €15111 little tiny bitty coins in chocolate/beer country.
Ouchies.
Power costs me $0.09 kWh where I live, so it's far more affordable for me to run.
My whole flat uses less yearly
