In the winter, when I run it like gangbusters, I get electric bills of $600 to $700 per month.
I have a 6.6 KW solar system now. I only pay for net usage after subtracting the solar contribution. But billing is based on time of day, so I try to avoid running my multiple servers in the peak billing hours.
That is smart, responsible and admirable.
I should look into doing my own solar power
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

I am jealous! I have invested exactly 550€ for PC hardware after 2010 .
Some of us, who are well past common sense, simply succumb to the computer chess disease and let it ride us like a rodeo pony.

The motherboard in the system I bought can take 128 GB RAM.
