I've got an old PowerEdge tower server sitting in my basement that I picked up for $300 on eBay. Dual 6-core Xeons. It's running probably 7 Ubuntu VM's in Hyper-V and not even breaking a sweat. Still need to get the GPU passthrough for Jellyfin configured though.

Eating $70 in power a month.

It might if it were really working hard but at idle it draws around 160 watts.

Edit: I was close. 140 watts.

My power edge R630 was eating way too much power... It's off and being replaced with a second consumer grade PC to be my second host.

I don't really have anything that takes enough clocks to justify that pig of a machine.

Wait, we're supposed to justify getting new servers? You don't just hoard them like blank notebooks?
