All of the monitors are connected to my main rig running Archlinux.

wa4chq 417 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Just think if you had your desk sitting by a south facing window and the backs of the monitors were solar cells...... just a thought. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Heh! I just scrolled through this entire 7 page thread. That was entertaining!

There are probably at least 20 cables behind my desk. 5 monitors (2 for each) desktop, speakers, switch, router, modem, fiber to ethernet box, 2 laptops, mobile workstation, etc. Link to post Share on other sites

V.T. Eric Layton 6,699 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Just kidding. Even with all that carp plugged in under your desk, only the monitors really draw current... and it's not enough to throw a 20A room circuit breaker. Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,447 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yeah, most newer hardware had all kinds of energy saving features and are lower power. I did have two servers running and when I went down to one, I noticed the drop in my electric bill. Those HP Z820 workstations weigh like 80lbs a piece. The heat sink is massive and spans the case. I'm on mobile or I'd look it up. Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,447 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 See the massive heatsink at the top with the handle It's got a pretty cool tool-less design where everything just snaps in 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
raymac46 2,835 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Just looked at my picture from 2009. I still have the desk but the chair, gateway, desktop PC, monitor, printer, speakers, mouse, keyboard and power strip are changed. I guess you'd expect that after 11 years. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
goretsky 1,174 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hello, Ooh.. a Z-series. I actually have one of those sitting in a colo doing stuff. Not the most energy-efficient system out there, but it's in a location with cheap power. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky 1 Link to post Share on other sites
