Mine runs at 30watts at idle.

That powers 4 switches, 1AP, and my proxmox system (framework laptop motherboard) which runs my router and my services.

What is everyone else’s usage and what does it power?

    Hmm according to homeassistant my Rack+PC consumed precisely this much over the last day (graph from homeassistant). I have been trying to minimize power consumption through more efficient hardware, but you can only go so far without making big sacrifices.

      wow. unless you’re doing lots of compute / AI stuff /crypto or have multiple servers or a big amount of spinning storage, i bet your 450W is far from ‘efficient’ without ‘sacrifices’. You can have one decent cpu with a few cores, one or two spinning hdd and one or two ethernet NICs idling at 20W to 40W. probably also including a few VMs with light usage.
