Lemmings, what's your self hosted server power usage? (programming.dev)

I'll just come out and say it: 50W. I know, I know an order of magnitude above what's actually needed to host websites, media center and image gallery.

But it is a computer I had on-hand and which would be turned on a quarter of the day anyway. And these 50W also warm my home, although this is less efficient than the heat pump, of course.

What's your usage? What do you host?

~25W which consists of:

  • Mini PC
    • Lenovo Thinkcentre M700 Tiny
    • i5-6500T
    • 8GB DDR4
    • 500GB SSD
  • External USB 3.5" enclosure
    • 2 x 2 TB HDD
  • Network switch
    • 4 Ports Gigabit

I've been thinking about upgrading because the CPU isn't that fast, the RAM ain't that much and I want to add a few more HDD's. I've seen a pretty interesting Lenovo P520 with 64GB RAM a CPU that's 3x times as fast and room for 6 HDD's for €350, but the power consumption I can see online (80W) isn't that appealing with European electricity prices.
