Careful what you wish for. I have played with those over the years at
home and they draw about 6 amps doing nothing and more when they are.
The wheel on the power meter goes into warp drive when you turn one of
those on. I can't imagine leaving one on 24/7 if I was paying the power
bill.
Wimp. ;) I ran a fully-configured E3500 for years. It really wasn't
that bad.
I happily admit to being a cheap bastard when it comes to electricity. My
electricity bill is always reducing my beer consumption and that always makes
me have a sad.
Ahh yes. Well I'm certainly with you there. :-(
