Hi,
I need to get a UPS for home, I have a Hack, a FreeNAS box and VMWare ESXI Server. I also have three monitors, some local networking and other odds and sods.
Rather than try to work out what my consumption is on my hackinotsh, I thought I'd buy a little power meter that I plug my Hack into and let it work it out. Then I get accurate figures.
So I plug my hackintosh into this little meter and turn everything on. Somewhat to my surprise I'm struggling to get over 250W.
Given that I have
I'm puzzled as I think I should be using far more power. In some respects this is good as it reduces the size of UPS I need but I still can't work out why it's so mall.
Anybody else actually measured their power usage as opposed to calculate it?
Thanks
Rob
