It’s not how much it pulls normally, it’s the peak that holster need to be concerned with.

But that's how the machine is running most of the time. Or do I misunderstand you?

Assuming a smaller number of drives, and not powering off then on again all the time it does not draw that much. As much as the chandeliers in the dining room with incandescent bulbs.

Drives, or even better, SSDs, but I guess the IBM i compatibles are ridiculously expensive.

How does powering off/on use more power?

Do you have actual numbers at hand? I guess, everybody has a different kind of light in his dining room. :-)

Then again check the models. Many of the 1U/2U models will run IBM i, just not all of the cores in one partition. Now you are drivIng your hardware cost way down. The only problem with those is limited storage, without a SAN which blows up the cost savings

We are still talking about a "home machine", for a Dev, right?
