      I want to live in this fairy tale land of new equipment too lol we poor sods in small / charity environments get everyone else's used gubbins.

      I bet my servers are older than yours! 😉

          @scottalanmiller can still probably top this... But when I was at my last job we finally retired a server that had been in operation for 30 years.

            I've been working with @mdecamp to size up a UPS for my new DELL T320.

            Turns out it never draws above 60W while running. These little suckers are efficient these days!

            What would you need in this thing to get it to its full 495W potential?

                  A USB hotplate.

                        My wife bought me something similar as a birthday gift, but I've never tried it. For whatever reason I'm only buying beer in bottles, so it won't fit.

                          Hang a couple of those off the server. Maybe we'll get close to that 495W!
