How many watts in all, for the whole network to run?
Using a power meter, the total consumption of the core equipment (2nd pic), including the parasitic load from the UPS (~10W) is 140W on average. The server probably takes up close to 2/3's of that total. In fact, the 7 hard disks alone consumes anywhere between 36-40W combined.



The 2nd and 3rd switches goes to the respective houses of my parents and siblings, so any power they consume are not included in my electricity bill.
