Computers I own:
| Mars | 800W |
| Hydroxide | 40W |
| DESKTOP TOTAL: | 840W |
| Ether | 250W |
| Carbonate | 300W |
| Kerosene | 300W |
| Cellulose | 200W |
| SERVER TOTAL: | 1050W |
| Monitors & Other Accessories | 225W |
| TOTAL: | 2115W |
Let’s say that, on average, each machine is using a 1⁄4 of the total power it can draw. This brings us to an actual total power usage of 529W.
Average cost of electricity in Texas: About $0.12 per KWh
Multiply the two, we get:
| Desktops: | $0.025/hr |
| Servers: | $0.032/hr |
| Monitors, etc.: | $0.007/hr |
| TOTAL: | $0.063/hr |
That’s $1.512 per day. Or $551.88 per year.
And that’s not counting the cost the goes to outfitting new equipment - So far this year, I’ve probably spent… Well, let’s not go there.
I could probably start a web-hosting gig. I could have a little radio button that says: Do you want WordPress? Or do you want Joomla? Or do you just want a blank server?
