And you get the added benefit of watching your electricity meter turn
into a blower as it spins itself to death and eats your wallet in the
process. By a quick first-degree approximation a server drawing 250W
24x7x365 will set you back about $300 a year - that's more than the cost
of a brand new HP MicroServer. By comparison, an HP MicroServer's draw
is more in the 25-35W region.
