Homelab

mine is ~50W and less than $3 USD a month!

Cries in German 0.44 USD per kWh ...

Paying 27,23 USD for my 85W NAS (which I need to bring down badly ...) per month. Waiting for a new bill on solar power on your balcony early 2024. Lookin into buying 800W panels and a battery. Should help bring down the operational cost tremendeously.

oddly 48 port 1gb switch was eating more power then thread ripper builds(2 of them)

i went to a fanless netgear 24 port switch for 25 bucks.

was 30 extra on top of Normal bill.

this will cut bill down by 20 alone.

According to my calibrated Tasmota plug, mine is guzzling about 160 Watt every hour, with energy costs sitting at (iirc) 0,38€/kWh. I really gotta take the time and track down who the worst offenders are some day....

That's nice! How could you do that,plz share your set up! thanks!

55w idle ~105w high load.

my apartment recently had some renovations done and the worker today asked my if my electric bill was high.. yea .. kind of.. I replied.

. "well your apartment was much warmer compared to all your neighbours..." go figure.

Mine is sadly over an order of magnitude higher than this...

About 300W, ~7kWh a day, costs me about $80 AUD a month.

What are you using to view and chart your power usage?

129kWh/month (approx $10.2)

...100% solar powered...

Currently drawing that daily… sometimes a lot more…

Please share your setup that you've used to achieve these figures. I am interested!

Way beyond. Germany.

My entire server rack uses about 150wh so 24/7 it calculates out to about 11.50 USD

My lab is around 65-70W, thats Router + Switch + Server (Ryzen 3600 + 3x 3.5"HDD)

UPS load - 50W average. 13¢/KW. About $4.8/month

Idk I have cheap electricity, 7c day 6 night so I just have it on its own

I pay 12€ a month for ~60W :(

u/Positive-Gazelle2603 Specs?

atm im not running much since not much time to lab, just the base stack.

about 35€/mo for 650w average consumption.

My last lab was 10-15kw, working on lab v2 in a new house and hoping to get that way down. No Vmax this time so fingers crossed haha

About $35/month. Bottom right of first image.

I have one server I built around a 13100f cpu. 2 3.5” hdds, 2 2.5” ssds and an nvme for boot. ~35w at normal use which runs me ~7c/day ~$24/year (upstate NY USA)

Use a single wyze 5070 for my home server just because power usage was key, and it seems this thin client had best power use to performance to cost ratio. It uses I think around 16W on avarage.

Kindof painful to see you paying 6 cents where I pay 39😓

Some specs to go alongside this would help with perspective. I'm running at 65W and have 2x 6TB spinning drives in mirror. 2 ssds for OS and a crap celeron

Currently about 3.2kw - 3.5kw on average. And $0.06/kwh USD for power.

60W 24/7 which costs about € 11,- per month

Due to high energy prices I'm barely using the server I built back in 21 (would draw an additional 100-120W). And my NAS only runs during backup. The 60W are basic networking stuff (router, switch, ...) and 3 Raspberry Pi 4B which run all of my stuff now.

500w idle, 900w under load, 360kW/month

Costs around 13$ USD

17 watts. HP 800 g1

About 10W, as I was looking for a power efficient CPU when I bought the server. So 7kWh a month, a little bit over 2€/month.

I have been using a j5005 with 16GB Ram, 40TB attached storage (the harddrives are spun down when not in use) for the last five years and so far I never had the impression that I need to upgrade.

The Gemini lake series supports only 8GB Ram officially, but apparently up to 32GB are possible.

400-500W ~100$ per month.

I make nothing, I give people shit. Yay.

Mine is ~26w, two arm based SBC jetson nano and an rk3399 NanoPC T4, three laptop usb hdd, a 1gig switch and one of my mesh routers all connected to one smartplug. Running Home Assistant, Frigate, PhotoPrism, DoubleTake/Deepstack, Nginx reverse proxy.

Cost £0.27/Kwh 2470.026*0.27=£1.33 per week

86W so about 20Euro/Month

Ops monthly cost is my daily cost.
