[QUOTE="Charlie TV, post: 1239482, member: 146352"] I mean expensive as in total cost of ownership/running costs. For me the system is on 24/7 as it does house audio, backups data to the cloud overnight and also mediaportal. I used my everyday i7 laptop that was 6 yrs old but the screen latches had broken but it still functioned fine. Run costs are 16p per day (based on 20p unit price and 35watt) versus a custom build (I've assumed 200watts) would cost 96p per day. If you work that out per month its £5 a month versus £28. Or based on 1yr its £61 versus £350 So depends on your circumstances but just something to bear in mind, you can obviously mitigate some of this with WOL or more expensive PSUs This site will help you work out the cost; [URL="https://www.sust-it.net/energy-calculator.php"]Electricity Cost Calculator[/URL] [/QUOTE]
