Just wondering.
I've got 2 Xeon X5650, 12x 4GB dimms, 3 M1015, down to 20 drives and still drawing 310 watts or so idling. If I spin down drives it only drops me to something in 280s. At 310w 24/7, and being in CA bay area and well into PG&E's tier 4 pricing of $0.35/kwh, this is about $80/month, lol.
