@Tim_G According to my UPSs, I'm running my lab on about 1.2kw and yeah, I definitely notice the increase in power bill. It's costing me about $125 per month based on loca rates, delivery charges and taxes in.

Is that $125 extra or $125 total? If total, how much extra does it add for you with your setup?

It's $125 extra per month. Just for the networking and server gear.

Wow... your setup is something I'd love to have at home. But there's no way I could justify that cost per month, if you know what I mean.

I know what you mean. The only reason I have this is because most is tax deductible through my business otherwise i would find a way to do without it all.

It's invaluable for me. I wouldn't trade it for the world.

I finally got my hacking lab setup. I have 3 180 day trials (Windows 10, one Windows 8.1, and Server 2016) running so it will get a littler smaller soon, but I am loving it right now.

@IRJ - Perhaps you could create a thread on the progress of your attacks to each victims vm

My "Home Lab" right now is a Vultr account. Really is cheaper than paying for the power, and I don't want to listen to something else when it gets hot in my tiny efficiency apartment. My desktop at home was custom built with an eye to keeping it quiet, even during the summer. (Lots of large fans and a temperature based fan controller.)
What do you end of spending a month?

Again, just getting started:
Plan on installing NethServer onto the CentOS server, along with creating a Kali Linux box, an Ubuntu desktop box, and a FreePBX box. Also downloaded Wazo. I'll go and explore that one later.

Used to be $5-$10 a month, depending if I was running 1 or 2 instances. Couldn't even match the power bill at that rate for a server box.

Interesting. So I should just spend the money? I have been trying about getting this:

CentOS 7 and KVM I should be able to do quite a bit
It's $360 a year. Worth it?

At $1/day, that's very tempting.
Do you have any experience with Whole Sale Internet?

My DL380 costs ~$10 per month to run in electricity.

Moved all my stuff very rapidly to the new homemade rack in the crawlspace with my wife hassling me the whole time; apparently our kids bedtime is more important than server stuff... who knew? Eventually I'll make it back down and hook up the rest of my ethernet runs and do some much nicer cable management. Everything, sans DL360 and switch, used to be in this tiny little cubby under my fireplace (that has never been used in the 6 years that we've been living here)
Currently running XS7.3 (can't wait for XCP-ng). I wanted to go with KVM on Fedora for the hypervisor but I have a toddler and infant that pretty much consume all of my home time, so I went with what I know for now.
HP DL360 G7 (8x 146GB RAID10, 2x E5649, 24GB RAM)
Synology DS213j (2x4TB)
Dell 2824 Switch, hand me down from work
Ubiquiti ERX
Philips Hue Bridge
Zoom Cable Modem
Eaton 5S550 UPS (shows ~48 Min battery life with everything you see connected)
