Hello, I have 4 blade servers with a total present power of 5250 watts. Is the formula I should follow to calculate the total monthly KW/h consumption as 5.25 x 24 x 30 OR 5250 x 24 / 1000 x 30?

Looks like both of your formulas are the same?

To your question: this may be a lot of fun to play around with, but it will costs hundreds of dollars per month to leave on 24/7. For comparison: that power is more than what it would take to blast your AC all month in the summer.
